It being the middle of Autism Awareness Month, I thought of writing about a few books that resonate with me as as autistic person, but aren’t necessarily about autism or by autistic authors. Along those lines, “The Quantum and the Lotus” is a fascinating book that explores the profound dialogues between Buddhism and science, delving into the nature of reality, time, consciousness, and the universe. The book is co-authored by Matthieu Ricard, a Buddhist monk and molecular biologist, and Trinh Xuan Thuan, an astrophysicist. Together, they bring their unique perspectives and expertise to the table, creating a thought-provoking and illuminating exchange of ideas.
