A stronger fit when you want information-forward reading with signal. Reliable fit when you want a curiosity-driven science/tech pick. When you like books that linger, imagery and detail are abundant, creating vivid scenes that stay with you long after you finish reading.
Maybe skip if...
Lower fit if you want zero technical framing. Weaker fit if you need no concrete explanatory value. When you do not want heavy research notes, chapters stretch to deepen scenes rather than rush from event to event.
