Stuff I've read lately

"Black Bodies and Quantum Cats" (Jennifer Ouellette) - I was disappointed by this book. Popularizing advanced physics is hard, and Ouellette does a good job of making it accessible to the layman. That said, I was looking for more technical details, at least some of the problems driving solutions. The metaphors were well chosen (I think I learned more about modern culture than physics), but metaphors can only go so far.
