As someone who is directionally challenged, I never thought I would care enough about longitude to read a 200 page book on it. But Dava made me care, and I’m glad I did.

4.5

An enlightening book that is entertaining, serious, and smart. I can’t recommend this book enough. While it may be too far to say that this book is life changing, it is definitely perspective enhancing. My takeaway is that we might not matter to the universe, but we matter as people to each other and to other things co-existing with us. This book highlights the great lengths people will go to in order to make sense, and find meaning, within life and human existence.
