Once again, Kang and Pedersen hit the jackpot in science writing

I loved this book. I loved the conversational tone and the light-hearted moments, the latter of which is a stellar accomplishment given the subject matter. The visuals are also great. I had already read “Quakery” by this writing duo and loved it, so I had high expectations for this book. I was not disappointed. None of the chapters is very long and I fell into the trap of reading just one more before putting the book down. It was never just one more. Kang and Pedersen very effectively communicate scientific information in simple, enjoyable language. I consider this book a must-read in this day and age. Their coverage of the COVID pandemic, although short, is one of the best I’ve read. I would be willing to read a much longer work by them in this area. Thank you to Netgalley and Workman Publishing Company for the advance reader copy.
