    Found this to be a slow and tedious read. Thomas’s writing is dense and difficult to penetrate. I wouldn’t recommend it.

  2. Vashu Katiyar

    A truly remarkable book! Thomas’s ability to blend science and philosophy is unparalleled. A must-read for anyone interested in the big questions.

  3. Rohan Mahajan

    One of the best books I’ve read in a long time. Thomas’s intellect shines through on every page. Truly inspiring!

  4. Mridul Sharma

    Brilliant and insightful. Thomas has a way of connecting seemingly disparate ideas. I especially enjoyed his essay on altruism. Highly recommend!

  5. Anubhav Ranjit

    A mixed bag. Some essays were thought-provoking, while others were rather dull. Overall, an okay read but not a favorite.

  6. Hitesh Bhatia

    A thought-provoking read. Thomas’s essays offer a unique perspective on science and humanity. Some essays resonated more than others, but overall, a worthwhile experience.

  7. Rupesh Kumar

    Thomas is a gifted writer. This book really open my eyes to see science and world in general. Must read!

  8. Linu Jangid

    Thomas writes with such clarity and grace. His essays are both informative and deeply moving. I’ll be revisiting this book often.

  9. Tanu Priya

    Excellent collection of essays. Thomas’s insights are timeless and relevant. I appreciated his perspective on scientific research.

  10. Mansi Sharma

    An amazing book! Thomas’ mind works in mysterious ways that can be unraveled with a second read. I’d recommend this book.

  11. Anirudh Pushp Dubey

    While Thomas is clearly intelligent, I found the book rather dry and academic. It lacked the emotional resonance I was hoping for.

  12. Jyotika Tuteja

    I found myself disagreeing with many of Thomas’s views. While thought-provoking, the book ultimately left me feeling frustrated.

  13. Rishav Ghosh

    I struggled to connect with the material. The essays felt disjointed and lacked a clear focus. Disappointing.

  14. Aman Kanwar

    I enjoyed the book but some of the science was over my head. Still, his insights on society were spot on. A good but challenging read.

  15. Shubh Sharma

    Found this collection to be a bit uneven. Some essays were fascinating, others less so. His writing style can be dense at times.

  16. Sasi Priyatham Sadanala

    I wanted to love this book, but it just didn’t click with me. Thomas’s writing style felt a bit pretentious. Not for me.
