The essay that the book takes its title from is particularly relevant to this discussion and freely available online: https://www.esquire.com/sports/a5151/the-string-theory-david...

(As an aside, I'm surprised to see this in Esquire, do they still publish writing like this or was it a very different magazine "back in the day"?)



Can’t comment on the current state of Esquire, but it certainly was “legit” in the past. I’ll take this opportunity to promote the classic Esquire piece “Frank Sinatra Has a Cold” https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a638/frank-sinatra-has...


Just to add, they have a really great archive site: https://classic.esquire.com/


And the person in charge of Esquire Classic has a site of good long-form journalism that predates the internet.
