“I can suggest two good books. Thinking Straight by @SkepticJonGuy and the Skeptics Guide to the Universe first book. Both are very readable and extremely clear on these issues. Follow @thinkingpowers if you don't already.”

Its chief useful part is the way everyday 1960s small-town life and personal relationships make the historical stakes feel immediate; the novel rewards readers who relish atmosphere and slow moral puzzles. The main limitation is length and digressions—long domestic passages and episodic subplots stretch the middle and can undercut urgency for readers who wanted a tighter thriller.”
