About

When we Cease to Understand the World is a book about the complex ties between scientific and mathematical understanding and personal and historical catastrophe. Fritz Haber, Alexander Grothendieck, Werner Heisenberg, and Erwin Schrodinger are among the luminaries whose troubled lives and transformative discoveries Benjamin Labatut explores in a book that fuses fact and fiction to revelatory and profoundly disconcerting effect.
