In the year 2036, humanity has achieved a nearly perfect digitally-based society, but a terrorist group known as The Liberators sees it as their mission to free humanity from the shackles of social media. Aided by a rogue tech billionaire, they detonate a nuclear device over the heart of technology, the San Francisco Bay Area, and instantly turn back the clock two hundred years on the eight million people who live there, leading to widespread chaos and death. In the aftermath of the attack, an ambitious young Senate candidate rescues his family from the horrors of the disaster even as more attacks are being threatened across the United States. The man behind the attack learns he has been a pawn in this global game. Only through an encounter with a mysterious stranger does he find a pathway to redeem himself and make amends to the human race which he had harmed so gravely.

Solid State: A Structural Approach by Tim Knight is a comprehensive and engaging introduction to the field of solid-state physics. It provides a clear and concise overview of the fundamental concepts and theoretical frameworks that underpin our understanding of the behavior of solids, from their atomic and electronic structure to their macroscopic properties.

The book begins by introducing the basic principles of quantum mechanics, the foundation upon which solid-state physics is built. Knight then delves into the electronic structure of solids, explaining how the arrangement of atoms and electrons determines their various properties, such as electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and magnetic susceptibility. He also discusses the different types of solids, including metals, semiconductors, and insulators, and explores the phase transitions that occur when solids are heated or cooled.

Solid State also covers a wide range of advanced topics, such as superconductivity, magnetism, and electronic devices. Knight presents these topics in a clear and accessible manner, making them understandable to students with a basic background in physics and mathematics. Throughout the book, he emphasizes the connections between theory and experiment, and provides numerous examples and applications to illustrate the practical relevance of the concepts discussed.

With its comprehensive coverage, clear explanations, and engaging writing style, Solid State is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the fascinating world of solid-state physics.
