Recensione

“Fascinating...Sure to spark debate in sporting and scientific circles, the book is engagingly written, well argued, and-even when the conclusions seem almost science-fictiony-entirely plausible.” (Booklist (starred review))

“[Brenkus] busts out some Hawking-like equations in an effort to calculate the outer limits of human athletic performance.” (New York Times Book Review)

“This stuff is catnip to a sports fan.” (The Week)
