From Nobel chemists pondering politics to computer scientists musing on Plato
Is the universe a hologram? is a collection of dialogues between the science journalist Adolfo Plasencia and a host of experts in science and technology. The author asks these luminaries to comment on both the technical aspects of their work and to reflect on its contribution to our understanding of the world. To cherry-pick a few examples, the conversations skip from quantum computing to free will, travelling by way of architecture and telecommunications.
