Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'A monstrous and brilliant book' - Philip PullmanWhen We Cease to Understand the World shows us great minds striking out into dangerous, uncharted terrain.Fritz Haber, Alexander Grothendieck, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrodinger: these are among the luminaries into whose troubled minds we are thrust as they grapple with the most profound questions of existence. They have strokes of unparalleled genius, they alienate friends and lovers, they descend into isolated states of madness. Some of their discoveries revolutionise our world for the better; others pave the way to chaos and unimaginable suffering. The lines are never clear. With breakneck pace and wondrous detail, Benjamin Labatut uses the imaginative resources of fiction to break open the stories of scientists and mathematicians who expanded our notions of the possible.'Ingenious, intricate and deeply disturbing. Labatut has written a dystopian nonfiction novel set not in the future but in the present' - John Banville'Absolutely brilliant. I was utterly gripped and wolfed it down. It feels as if he had invented an entirely new genre' - Mark Haddon A Guardian and New Statesman book of the year, now in paperback - the fast-paced,mind-expanding literary work about scientific discovery and the unsettled distinctionbetween genius and madness. Shortlisted for the 2021 International Booker Prize. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781782276142
