When We Cease to Understand the World shows us great minds striking
out into dangerous, uncharted terrain. Fritz Haber, Alexander
Grothendieck, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schroedinger: these are
among the luminaries into whose troubled minds we are thrust as
they grapple with the most profound questions of existence. They
have strokes of unparalleled genius, they alienate friends and
lovers, they descend into isolated states of madness. Some of their
discoveries revolutionise our world for the better; others pave the
way to chaos and unimaginable suffering. The lines are never clear.
With breakneck pace and wondrous detail, Benjamin Labatut uses the
imaginative resources of fiction to break open the stories of
scientists and mathematicians who expanded our notions of the
possible.
