4 ⭐I‘ve seen this book for a few years but not been interested in an reading it. In graphic novel format, I‘m glad I did. This starts out with us by telling us the story of how the atom bomb came to be. It goes over Oppenheimer ‘s life and other scientists, as well as how the secrets were given to the Soviets. This was much more digestible than the full book. Tt was not only educational, but it was also interesting and kept the pages turning.

“Normalcy is the antithesis of evolution.”

“Can we make our genomes a little better, without making ourselves substantially worse?”

This #nonfiction book takes a very holistic approach to its subject, which I more than approve of. Aside from dumping on you a huge—and surprisingly digestible—load of info, both #scientific and #historical, it asks important moral questions without turning moralistic.

Highly recommended.

5/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Highly recommend this #nonfiction look at what technology does to the physical state of our brain. How does media, the web, and social media physical alter our brain? Carr explains the #scientific effects. He also explores the trade offs we make by using technology.

RamsFan1963 I remember reading this, it especially stuck with me about how your brain gears up when you're online, then gears down when you're reading. I find it hard to switch gears to read if I've been on social media too long. 2y

5 Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! I absolutely loved reading this science fiction, suspense, novel. I want to say so much but then I don't want to spoil it for anyone. The writing was awesome I love those novels that make you forget your reading a book. I was lost in words and having a party. This was the best feel good ending! Loved it! ❤❤❤❤❤ #BOTM #scientific
