“When I started writing [THE PROOF IN THE CODE] two years ago, Lean and AI had nothing to do with each other. Now, they’re deeply intertwined …. This was one of the great surprises of the book.” From this month's @publisherswkly.bsky.social interview with @kevinhartnett.bsky.social.
Explore “Brainstorming,” @thetransmitter.bsky.social’s new LinkedIn newsletter that looks at how neuroscientists are solving research challenges. The first edition features nontraditional model organisms that are well suited for studying certain behaviors or neurological conditions.

Here’s the beautiful cover from Na Kim at @fsgbooks.bsky.social—an elegant design for an elegant book!
We’re thrilled to announce that Terence Tao (@teorth.bsky.social)’s SIX MATH ESSENTIALS is available for preorder: us.macmillan.com/books/978037.... A whirlwind tour through six core ideas that have guided mathematicians from antiquity to the frontiers of what we know today. Pubs October 27, 2026.
With wonder and wit, Tong revels in all that we’ve learned about our world and illuminates the questions that we’re still trying to answer about the stuff that makes up you, me, and everything else. If you’re only ever going to read one book about quantum field theory, this is it.
🚨New book announcement!🚨 Leading theoretical physicist and Cambridge professor David Tong's new book EVERYTHING IS FIELDS is coming 2027. A brilliant, lively tour through quantum field theory, the deepest description we have of how our world works—& the most difficult topic in theoretical physics.
A glimpse into the workings of an incomparable mind and how he thinks about the beauty and interconnectedness of the mathematical enterprise, Tao’s book presents math not as magic, but as a powerful way of thinking anyone can learn.
🚨New book announcement!🚨 Renowned mathematician and Fields medalist Terence Tao’s (@teorth.bsky.social) SIX MATH ESSENTIALS is coming fall 2026. Tao’s first popular math book introduces six core ideas that have guided mathematicians from antiquity to the frontiers of what we know today.
Check out the cover for our inaugural title, @kevinhartnett.bsky.social’s THE PROOF IN THE CODE, coming June 9, 2026! Shoutout @fsgbooks.bsky.social for the beautiful design. Want a copy of your own? You can now preorder here: us.macmillan.com/books/978037....
Feels amazing for @quantabooks.bsky.social to join @fsgbooks.bsky.social's family of imprints -- and how cool is it that we get to sit next to @questlove.bsky.social's AUWA BOOKS?
If you—or someone you know—has a brilliant book idea, we want to hear from you! Send your queries and book proposals to info[at]quantabooks.org or visit us at quantabooks.org.
Our focus is basic, fundamental science from physics, math, biology, chemistry and computer science. We’re excited about rigorously reported narrative nonfiction, explainers of fundamental ideas, and biographies of scientists or mathematicians, as well as history of science and natural history.
Announcing again: 🚨We’re open for submissions! 🚨
As part of our mission to demystify publishing and to develop exceptional science books, we welcome queries and submissions from scientists, mathematicians, and science writers, whether you have an agent or not.
We’ll be at the #AAASmtg with @aaas.bsky.social in Boston this week—will you? If you have a great science book idea or want to learn more, reach out at info[at]quantabooks.org.
