This is not an enjoyable book, particularly in the Kindle format, where the footnotes are a particular irritation. The monologues by the chronic whiner Nobel laureate, Norton Perina, required a large amount of text skimming in order to get to relevant clumps of the story. The purpose for this book may be the portrayal of a supremely self-justified individual as a model for a celebrated scientist, but the portrayal is flawed in that Norton doesn't really have the chops (the ability) to be successful, due in part to excessive mental wanking without a moral or ethical framework. In my opinion, an interesting concept but mediocre execution.
