 Just finished “Existential Physics” by Sabine Hossenfeld … needed a light & fun read so I started “Off to be the Wizard” by Scott Meyer.

The first one asks questions like “Does the Past Exist?”, “Has physics ruled out free will?” & “Are humans predictable?” & answers them through a physics lens … interesting but a mildly difficult read.

The latter is about a programmer that finds a hidden file in a server that allows him to edit his life stats & promptly becomes a wizard in Medieval England. Definitely the tone I was looking for … fun read …
