Went to a rare book store yesterday; imagine my surprise to see “Science and the Common Understanding” by Oppenheimer, 1st edition, 1954

Having just read The Making of the Atomic Bomb as part of @phil’s Silicon Valley Canon, it felt fortuitous to come across this original copy ✨ 

My first rare book! 📗 

Also, the bookseller is a family friend of Richard Rhodes, author of the making of the atomic bomb, so it was cool to hear his experience having him around for dinner.

Wow, that book sounds old! Lucky find! 😮📚
