출판사 서평
"Holt ....performs his observational comedy within the realm of the higher sciences ― math, theoretical physics, philosophy ― but gives us enough setup that we’re in on the joke . . . I don’t know of another writer quite like him . . . When Einstein presents a remarkably unified sensibility . . . I found Holt’s essay on the Riemann hypothesis to be totally charming. In fact, this was my experience for nearly the whole book. In piece after piece, Holt acts as a model host, giving us only the best bits while paring away most difficulties . . . It’s a perfect bedtime book, with each essay providing a luminous devotional on weighty topics, delivered with a light touch." ―David Kordahl, Los Angeles Review of Books
"I’ve just discovered the brilliant essays of Jim Holt . . . When Einstein Walked with G?del: Excursions to the Edge of Thought . . . offers lucid and entertaining accounts of deep problems in physics, maths and philosophy." ―Martin Rees, Physics World
"A smart, erudite, and witty guided tour of some of the most colorful episodes and characters in the history of science and mathematics." ―Jimena Canales, Undark
“Jim Holt's essay collection When Einstein Walked with G?del is a gleaming introduction to the mysteries of modern physics and mathematics. Holding your hand through discussions of artificial intelligence, string theory, theories of time, Holt's ‘Excursions to the Edge of Thought’ are the journeys of a lifetime.” ―Christopher Bray, The Tablet (London)
"These are bold, thought-provoking pieces . . . Stories of real humans and their mathematical, physical and philosophical theories―some of the most complex ever devised." ―Andrew Jaffe, Nature
"In these pieces, plucked from the last 20 years, Holt takes on infinity and the infinitesimal, the illusion of time, the birth of eugenics, the so-called new atheism, smartphones and distraction. It is an elegant history of recent ideas . . . Holt is an amphibious kind of writer, so capably slipping from theology to cosmology to poetry, you’re reminded that specialization is a modern invention." ―Parul Sehgal, The New York Times
"Jim Holt . . . is one of the very best modern science writers." ―Steven Poole, The Wall Street Journal
