Girolamo Cardano was one of those Renaissance personalities, who can hardly be put in a nutshell. Mathematician, astrologer, doctor, inventor, lecturer, who has grown up and worked with other great representatives of the arts and science in Italy in XVI century. His talents and knowledge made him famous throughout Europe.

But why should we care about him today? The British quantum physicist Michael Brooks wants to explain how the world of Cardano and our modern science are caught in a strange entanglement. Does the future influence the past? Can we transcend the limits of time and space to meet our idols?

It is hard to pin down the genre of ‘The Quantum Astrologer’s Notebook’. The author has successfully combined a biography, history of science, explanation of quantum theory in one fascinating discourse that engages our imagination to tell the story of the extraordinary life of this exquisite man, whose fate still moves and astounds the reader. Not surprisingly, Cardano himself very much predicted his own immortality.
