      👀 Just received a new blurb for my upcoming book, "How to Build a Universe (Theoretically Speaking)"! This is the first review from a fellow physicist, so it means a lot to me. I'm very grateful to Carlo for such kind words! 😃
      "Katie Mack's writing on physics is always a joy: not just because of the wit, and the charming lightness, but especially because she describes science as it really is, not the sanitized version which is often presented. If you want to know how a great scientist of today really thinks about reality, read this!"
— Carlo Rovelli, author of On the Equality of All Things
