Life on the Edge: The Coming of Age of Quantum Biology by Jim Al-Khalili and Johnjoe McFadden is a popular science book about a very fascinating research area – quantum biology – which is moving very fast, on many fronts. I fully understand that a huge amount of details need to be omitted in a popular text in the interest of simplicity and intelligibility. What I don’t like is that the book instead is full of anecdotes which have nothing to do with quantum biology. It might be fun reading, but it’s not what I expected from this book.
