Disturbing the Universe
Freeman Dyson
An autobiography unlike any other, this book follows Freeman Dyson as he discusses his groundbreaking work in physics and unique career spanning WWII, studies with Hans Bethe, friendship with Richard Feynman, and postgraduate work with J. Robert Oppenheimer. Dyson's interests range from minimizing loss of life in war to thought experiments on the expansion of our frontiers into the galaxy. Through it all, Dyson evocatively conveys the thrill of a deep engagement with the world.
