"Allan hinted on his blog that an unnamed “customer” of Rossi's device is a military organization that starts with an N."

I'm just popping in to say that every time I look at this thread title (Science ebook recommendations), my demented brain hears "sciencey book recommendations." I'm not sure if that changes the thread's meaning at all... but it definitely doesn't change the fact that I have nothing to contribute. Sorry.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled sciencey type stuff. |

I thought Flatland made for rather boring reading, but as a thought experiment, the book has enjoyed far-reaching influence.
