Disturbing the universe
Thats the book I am reading now by Freeman Dyson. I have only one word for it. AMAZING. There are lot of things including description of work of people like Feynman and Openheimer and Swinger and Edward Teller. Los Alamos in World War II is like the US Dream Team in Basketball. He also talks about his passion in music which was quite numeric (Did I get it right?). He talks about disarmament in the time of cold-war.Supports a defensive antiballistic missile system more than the development of a nuclear weapon. Talks about Martin Luthar King and a labour leader and shows the similarities. Space colonization. Design of a ultra-safe nuclear reactor in a schoolhouse. Trial of Openheimer. Friedship of Edward Teller.
