Everything All at Once

I love this book. I've only recently started reading nonfiction, and I am now inspired to read both his other books and Neil Degrasse Tyson's latest book. Bill Nye provides a lot of information about a fascinating and diverse array of topics, yet manages to bring them together in an inspiring and well thought out manner. I learned about solar power, GMO crops, why puns are good (!), what ice core samples in Greenland tell us about air pollution, astronomy (which never previously interested me in the least), physics, artificial intelligence, driverless cars, the ongoing conflict between religion and science, etc. It was also quite synchronous that I was concurrently reading Origins by Dan Brown, because he also addresses some of these topics. I have an arts, not a science background, but I thoroughly enjoyed Bill Nye's book. He provides a wonderful antidote to the anti-science rhetoric so popular in much of the media and politics at the moment. Nye provides lots of concrete and empowering solutions that everyone can get behind. And if you listen to the audio version, he is a very entertaining narrator!
