This is delightful! The best nonfiction listen I‘ve enjoyed in a long time. The writing is both informative and entertaining. If you‘re a hard core science person, there won‘t be anything new here for you, but for the general reader it‘s a treat. Caveat—if you have a serious fear of flying, this might not be for you as it‘s structured as a trans-Atlantic flight. All the ⭐️⭐️⭐️s.

Not as enjoyable as his book Stuff Matters but very good though. He injected a little too much of his own personality into it, which is fine of course but not interesting to me. His scientific insights are incredible and that's what makes this an amazing read.

Science geekery at its best. Really enjoyed this look at liquids, told during the course of an airplane flight. An engaging tour of liquid substances in the droplets, molecules, heartbeats, and waves that make up the fuel, beverages, liquid-crystal display screen, the ocean...and of course, the tiny bottles in the carry-on‘s. Very conversational tone, simple layman‘s terms. Approachable and engaging read 🤗

Crazeedi @SW-T I just read *Lab Girl* a similar book about paleobiology. This one seems like it would be similar 6y
SW-T @Crazeedi Both talk about science, but between the two I liked this one a bit better. 6y
