Notes on Infinity is mesmeric . . . it stole my breath and my heart. It’s a grand story of science and startups, a simple story of first love and belonging and a perfect portrait of friendship, family, and that fine line between exhilaration and agony. I couldn’t have loved it more. * Chris Whitaker, author of All the Colours of the Dark * This unputdownable campus novel offers an inside look at the intense, high-stakes world of academia, where ambition, brilliance, and pressure collide. Austin Taylor gives a sharp, thoughtful exploration of the pursuit of dreams, of greatness, and the cost of success in an environment that demands nothing less than perfection. * Weike Wang, author of Chemistry and Joan is Okay * Such a poignant book. I really enjoyed the inside look on biotech start-up life and the discussions of science, quantum physics and consciousness. I kept highlighting favourite sentences in it. I truly loved it. * Kate Fagan, author of The Three Lives of Cate Kay *
