Lost in Math: How Beauty Leads Physics Astray

Sabine Hossenfelder has been writing on particle physics as well as theoretical physics for a number of years. This book is a good overview of the state of physics at the time this book was originally published (2020). It is a good companion piece to Lee Smolin's book The Trouble with Physics. This book is definitely geared toward people are interested ans somewhat conversant with science and especially theoretical physics. The general reader can gleam from the text how scientist go about their studies (at least in physics). Definitely not a book for everyone.

Damned good. Very well written. Makes one think.
Working scientists (and really anyone interested in science) would do well to read and internalize what Dr. Hossenfelder has to say.
