Review of 'Karen Barad : What Is the Measure of Nothingness : Infinity, Virtuality, Justice : 100 Notes, 100 Thoughts' on 'GoodReads'
5 stars
"The idea of finitude as lack is lacking"
Barad's outstanding and mind-bending philosophy-cum-quantum physics is as brilliant as it is difficult. This short book, created for the international art exhibition Documenta XIII (2012), is the powerful essence of her thinking on time, quantification, and ultimately nothingness (or everythingness, depending on how you read it). Poetic and beautiful, the short text explores so many ideas it will leave your head spinning.
An amazing piece of art, philosophy and writing.
