| Why it’s on the list | Grayling takes three fields — physics, history, and the study of mind — and maps where each one’s knowledge stops and why. A book about the shape of the frontier rather than the contents of any one discipline. |
Where I heard about it
- @WillManidis’s thread — a reply to his question “what is the single best book you can read that will explain an entire industry?” in the thread, June 2025. The full list of replies lives on what is the single best book… (tweet).
Connections
- Science — one of the three frontiers Grayling maps.
- History — another; his point is that the limits are different in kind.
- Open Source Knowledge — knowing where the edge of the known sits is the prerequisite for adding to it.
- what is the single best book… (tweet) — the thread this recommendation came from.
