These are the reflections of a nonagenarian polymath describing the
shift from a fifty-year-long career as a world-famous chemist to a
subsequent twenty-five-year immersion in "science-in-fiction" and
"science-in-theater," which is virtually unique among contemporary
scientists. Sharply self-critical, yet full of humor, this
autobiographical account covers themes such as the future of sex in
an age of technological reproduction, the history of the Pill seen
through the eyes of one of its inventors, innovative - even unique
- pedagogic experiments, the insoluble homelessness of a refugee,
suicide, and art collecting. This book is also heavily illustrated
with 94 individual pictures.
