Critics Review
If you’re one of those people (and I am) who often find yourself wondering about the “whys” and “whats” of random phenomena for no apparent reason, your hopes have been answered. How Long is Now? is the book I didn’t know I needed until I read it - with the answers I didn’t know I craved until I had them. It’s funny and endlessly fascinating. I have one question left: when’s the follow-up coming out? I’m sure to have many queries saved up – Maria Konnikova New York Times bestselling author of Mastermind and The Confidence Game
