About this audiobook
A wild ride through the razor-thin corridor where cutting-edge physics collides with raw human nature: two scientists accidentally fuse into a single eight-foot being of light, a bunker floods with hundreds of identical genius men who strip away every inhibition in pursuit of the ultimate breakthrough, and nine sweat-soaked researchers—working in nothing but black boxer briefs—finally write the equation that lets observation rewrite reality itself. Hard science fiction at its most transgressive and hopeful, Optimal Research is cerebral, explicit, and unapologetically optimistic: a story that proves the universe has been waiting for exactly this kind of reckless, honest curiosity. Not safe for work. Entirely safe for wonder.
