What Is Real?: The Unfinished Quest for the Meaning of Quantum Physics

Adam Becker

Paul Mainwood

@Sime0nStylites It's difficult to recommend things that manage to hold onto objectivity (which says something itself). I thought Adam Becker's "What is Real" (flaw: clearly pro-Everett and anti-Copenhagen) was a good popular but intelligent outline of the origins and the people involved.

Eight Months on Ghazzah Street

Hilary Mantel

Paul Mainwood

Quick plug that while her historical fiction is wonderful, Hilary Mantel's "Eight months on Ghazzah Street" seems to be badly underread. Short, sinister and unforgettable.
