IN RETROSPECT

Meer over het boek

Reflecting on a remarkable career, a nonagenarian polymath transitions from a celebrated chemist to exploring "science-in-fiction" and "science-in-theater." This autobiographical account is marked by sharp self-critique and humor, addressing diverse themes such as technological reproduction, the historical context of the Pill, innovative teaching methods, the struggles of a refugee, and the complexities of suicide and art collecting. The narrative is richly illustrated with 94 pictures, enhancing the exploration of these profound topics.
