description: In this collection of writings the logbook of an intelligence always on the move Carlo Rovelli follows his curiosity and invites us on a voyage through science history philosophy and politics.Written with his usual clarity and wit these pieces range widely across time and space: from Newton's alchemy to Einstein's mistakes from Nabokov's butterflies to Dante's cosmology from travels in Africa to the consciousness of an octopus from mind-altering psychedelic substances to the meaning of atheism.Charming pithy and elegant this book is the perfect gateway to the universe of one of the most influential scientists of our age.
