Why read it?
1 author picked Sneaking a Look at God's Cards as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Ghirardi, together with Alberto Rimini and Tulio Weber, developed the first mathematically rigorous “objective collapse” interpretation of quantum formalism. This book is aimed at a popular audience, and includes discussion of quantum computation and quantum cryptography, which is absent from the other books on the list. The mathematics is slightly greater than in Albert’s book, but does not go beyond a high school level.
From Tim's list on quantum theory and its history.
