A realist takes on quantum mechanics

Einstein’s Unfinished Revolution: The Search for What Lies Beyond the Quantum Lee Smolin Penguin Press (2019)

Quantum mechanics is perhaps the most successful theory ever formulated. The mathematical structure of quantum mechanics arrived before physicists were able to interpret it, and Smolin gives a clear account of subsequent arguments about the nature of the theory, before finally setting out his own ideas. Despite the impression that Smolin gives, modern theoretical physics is thriving, with potentially revolutionary ideas about space and time emerging from a combination of the standard quantum mechanics and relativity theory taught in universities for generations.
