Like no book I've read or imagined reading; the same probably goes for you. The first essay deep-dives straight into hard physics; from there it's a gradual (and effective) progression to Prescod-Weinstein's vision of a more perfect world. She takes us through racism in the sciences and in academia; through misogyny, colonialism, white supremacy, rape, tyranny, language. Each essay is both complete in itself and inextricably tied into the rest of the book; there's doubtless a Quantum metaphor in there somewhere.

This is a challenging book, and not in a consistent way. Prescod-Weinstein does not talk down to the reader -- and few readers will have the background necessary to fully understand every topic she covers. I struggled. You will struggle. Does that deter you? Good: you're not the target audience. Does it encourage you? Make you want to learn more? Even better! Ask me for my (hardcover) copy!
