The world is on the brink of an apocalyptic climate crisis and quickly spiraling out of control into a dystopian nightmare. As everything collapses around them, two scientists struggle for relevance in their quest to build the world’s first practical quantum computer. They discover so much more. A mystery of physics that goes deeper than they could have ever imagined..
My review:
The Quantum Revelations seemed to veer back and forth to me.
First it was science, then it really and truly was a bit of a science fiction
story. Then it seemed to become a place to preach to a captive audience, in
other words, someone already reading the book.
I did find bits and pieces of this book interesting. Taken
out of context, some points were quite introspective. I think this might be an
acquired taste and you will find people who really like it or people who are
confused by it.
Read an excerpt:
The importance of this seemingly mundane research could not
be overstated. If things were really as bad as he feared, world leaders needed
to know the truth, and fast. The very future existence of mankind might depend
on it.
No, it was worse than that. He laughed to himself at the sad truth, that even this seemingly over-exaggerated description failed to capture the full gravity of the importance of their mission. It was not just the future of mankind that depended on it, but the future of all life on Earth. The very habitability of the planet was at stake. Every tree, every blade of grass, every insect. The future of every living thing, from the largest blue whale down to the smallest microbe hung in the balance.
Humanity had achieved much to be proud of. But like Icarus, mankind had been too greedy, and had flown too close to the sun: pushing forward mercilessly in pursuit of uninterrupted exponential growth and consumption. Mankind had become a scourge upon the Earth.
If humanity destroyed itself, he would have no sympathy. It was the rest of the natural world that he felt sorry for. The caribou of Alaska, the tropical birds of the rainforest, the elephants of Africa, the dolphins of the sea, the giant redwoods of California, and every other unsuspecting life form on this planet. They were the true innocent victims. They had done nothing to deserve what was coming.
