"A fascinating and funny guide to history's favorite genius-and why
he still matters." -A.J. Jacobs, New York Times bestselling author
A fascinating look into how Einstein's genius and science continues
to show up in so many facets of our everyday lives and his enduring
legacy as an unlikely pop culture icon. Albert Einstein was the
first modern-day celebrity and, decades after his death, still has
the world's most recognizable face. His influence is seen in much
of the technology we use every day: GPS, remote controls, weather
forecasts, even toothpaste. But it's not just Einstein's scientific
discoveries that continue to shape our world. His legacy underpins
the search for aliens, the rescue of refugees, the invention of
time machines, and the debunking of fake news. He appears in new
books, TV shows, and movies all the time-and fans are paying
millions for Einstein relics at auction. Award-winning author and
journalist Benyamin Cohen has a bizarre side hustle as the manager
of Einstein's official social media accounts, which have 20 million
followers-more than most living celebrities. In The Einstein
Effect, Cohen embarks on a global quest to unearth Einstein's
ongoing relevance today. Along the way, he meets scientists and
celebrities, speaks to dozens with the last name Einstein
(including two rabbis), and even tracks down the brain of Einstein,
stolen from his body during the autopsy. Cohen shows us the myriad
ways the Nobel Prize winner's influence is still with us, giving an
in-depth-and often hilarious-look at the world's favorite genius
like you've never seen him before.
