“Alice in Quantumland: A Charming Illustrated Allegory of Quantum
Mechanics by a CERN Physicist”
“Besides the clever concept, two things make the book especially remarkable:
It flies in the face of gender stereotypes with a female protagonist who sets out to make
sense of some of the most intense science of all time, and it features [Robert] Gilmore’s
own magnificent illustrations for a perfect intersection of art and science, true to recent
research indicating that history’s most successful scientists also dabbled in the arts.”
