Pandora's Lab

This book was disappointing. It's also factually misleading. The first couple chapters I didn't have any particular qualms with, Fritz Haber's demise, good fats vs bad fats, etc, the misleading white paper that led to the Opioid crisis. However, the chapter about DDT felt like a Rachel Carson hit piece. The tone was so specifically angry it felt completely out of place in a pop science book. And then to quote Michael Crichton of all people in this chapter. Michael Crichton, known hater of science and liberal ideology. Woof.
