I first listened to this as an audiobook and was so enamoured I purchased the soft cover so I could mark it up and see the diagrams. While this is not the only book which attempt to describe the internal workings of the body in at the level where physics, biology and chemistry merge and chaos rules, but Hoffman does it seemleesly and in an understandable fashion (definitely targeting science nerds). There is no point at which the probabililist nature of life does not exist, it is just that we can usually ignore it’s effect as we study workings on a larger scale. There is no point at which quantum physical properties cease to exist, there is a continuum along which the small size scale we become interested in requires us to incorporate probabilistic effects of quantum physics into out thinking and models.
