the sham legacy of Richard Feynman
Angela Collier
Physicist Angela Collier's nearly three-hour critique of Richard Feynman's public legacy. She examines how his books, written with Ralph Leighton, shaped a mythologized great-man image, and covers his personal behavior.
HN recommends it as a sobering counterpoint to the Feynman myth for people whose view comes from Surely You're Joking.
