Maybe there are more up-to-date books, but it is hard for me to imagine any book having more insight per page than SSR. It is also incomparably well-written; even if you don't believe any of the philosophical claims, it is worthwhile simply as a lesson in how to write engagingly about scientific topics.

Yes, it's the book where I highlited the most things in my kindle.

I don't want to discourage anybody reading it. At the same time I want to know what to read as a follow-up.
