The Golem


It is neither the sci-fi novel by Lem nor the ancient Jewish myth. It is about science.
Its heroes are researchers and the monsters they fight are gravity waves, neutrinos and cold fusion. Watch out. Read this book by Collins and Pinch. Tah-dah.
Advertisement over.
I would like to make a film out of this book, although the sexual behaviour of the whiptail lizard would be hard to sell to a producer.
Neutrino detectors buried deep within uranium mines could be easier to capture and to promote.
I am writing this without having read the last pages of the book, and especially the scientists’ reactions. I wonder if they understand and so I am looking forward to read the last pages of the book.
