If I had to pick one book from 2022, I would definitely go with Carlo Rovelli’s “The Order of Time” https://amzn.to/3W4PdVG https://amzn.to/3W4PdVG
In the book, Rovelli explores the concept of time and how it has been understood by scientists and philosophers throughout history. An intellectually stimulating and not overly technical read about the concept of a universe without time and some of the latest developments in Loop Quantum Gravity (Rovelli’s field of work).
I also have a blog post on my Top 10 books from last year: https://medium.data4sci.com/top-10-books-we-read-in-2022-c3db94a5bdb7 https://medium.data4sci.com/top-10-books-we-read-in-2022-c3d...
- jzl 4y agoI’ll check this one out, thanks. You might enjoy “From Eternity To Here” by Sean Carroll, which is a pretty deep exploration of similar topics.

- b0tch7 4y agoI'm about 25% through this book and struggling with it a bit. It's interesting, for sure, but it's kinda just going in one ear out the other for me. Don't feel like i'm learning or gaining new insight. Not to say I'm an expert -- anything but -- but don't have much to takeaway from it yet. Will trudge along...
