“If you like the thinker’s prose, the so-called ‘romantic science,’ a style attributed to the Russian neuroscientist A. R. Luria, which consists in publishing original research in literary form, you would love this book. Clearly intellectual scientists are vanishing under the weight of the commoditization of the discipline. But once in a while someone emerges to reverse such setbacks. Goldberg, who was the great Luria’s student and collaborator, is even more colorful and fun to read than the master. He is egocentric, abrasive, opinionated, and colorful.”↗
