6/9/2023 0 Comments Cosm by Gregory Benford![]() ![]() Alicia Butterworth is a black physicist struggling with being at the same time a poster girl for minority science and impostor syndrome. Gregory Benford does what he does best in this fine novel - show real scientists doing real science against a background of mind-boggling cutting-edge concepts. While I enjoy the field, I wanted some read-fast-don't-think book, and that's the reason I didn't enjoy it that much. It was maybe a little too detailed in physics. I think it was a good idea to set the future not so far away.īut. This fact is noted in details, but not that much. The discoverer, a physicist from UCI, lives through university stuff, bureaucracy and the perks of being a black woman in the field.Īlthough this book was published in 1998, the author says he finished writing it in 1997, setting the novel in 2005. ![]() ![]() It was interesting to see science fiction narrated from another point of view, making it more believable. It narrates the discovery of a weird object in an experiment, and how the discoverer tries to find out what on earth is it and how it works. I did some research and apparently this book is not among the bests of the author, and partially I can understand why. ![]() Considering I spent the whole day reading to finish this book, this review is probably far from being objective. ![]()
