Now, Bernstein takes the reader on a guided tour of the scientific imagination in all its myriad forms. The result is an exhilarating book that provides us with a rare look at the inner workings of the scientific mind in action. Thus, in his brilliant New Yorker profile of Marvin Minsky, Bernstein gives us not only a clear understanding of the great man's work on computers, but also a notion of the playfulness of the scientific imagination. Whether discussing Einstein or film director Stanley Kubrick, nuclear fusion or scientific cranks, Bernstein offers a delightful mixture of wit, science, and personalities.
