520 "A fictional examination of the lives of real-life
scientists and thinkers whose discoveries resulted in
moral consequences beyond their imagining. When We Cease
to Understand the World is a book about the complicated
links between scientific and mathematical discovery,
madness, and destruction. Fritz Haber, Alexander
Grothendieck, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrodinger: these
are some of luminaries into whose troubled lives Labatut's
book thrusts the reader, showing us how they grappled with
the most profound questions of existence. They have
strokes of unparalleled genius, alienate friends and
lovers, descend into isolation and insanity. Some of their
discoveries reshape human life to the better; others pave
the way to chaos and unimaginable suffering. The lines are
never clear. At a breakneck pace and with a wealth of
disturbing detail, Benjamin Labatut uses the imaginative
resources of fiction to tell the stories of scientists and
mathematicians who expanded our notions of the possible"--
