Sex, Power and Suicide is an extraordinary read. I'm a little frightened to buy his newest Transformer since it looks a little heavy on chemistry. Can anyone comment?
- pchristensen 4y agoI'm partway through it on Audible. He doesn't pull any punches with the science, but he's such a good writer. A lot of it has been a history of biochemistry in the 20th century - I didn't realize that Krebs and others were so recent. If you were comfortable with the difficulty of The Vital Question, you can handle Transformer.
