Something I love about used books the occasional marginalia left by strangers. The previous owner of this book left none in the actual pages, but was moved enough to write this on the inside cover: “As of 2023, I found this to be a profound explanation of modern scientific developments. I understood none of the scientific language or mathematics, yet I still was able to take something away from reading this. It almost feels existentially philosophical. The theory - order in chaos, and chaos in order - aside, the need for science to deconstruct the walls it had greedily built so that it may discover universality, the point at which we should have begun, is almost humorously human. Everything possesses infinite depth and to act as though one can simplify such complexity by stripping it of that which makes it complex [can’t decipher word] ignorance at the grandest scale.” So there you have it. The book is Chaos by James Gleick. Endorsed by a stranger, originally recommended to me by @aviationdoctor.eth.
