The Delightful and Dangerous Substances That Flow Through Our Lives

Liquid Rules

Poor Susan! The book had some pretty interesting bit, which read much more easily than some science books. I learned a few things, such as about liquid computing, similar to the fiction book Moonbound by Robin Sloan, which I also read this year that had a similar imagining. It's interesting to know that experiments have already tried to store data in liquid, what a trip! The book was well-presented and made the topic more engaging than I would've thought. I've been dreading this read, but didn't mind it much.

Fun book, just like Stuff Matters. Full of cool facts. For example, I learned that soap is an emulsifier—it causes dirt and water to form an emulsion (dirty water). Neat!

Another soap fact: Soap Operas are named so because the first ones were sponsored by... Proctor and Gamble.
