Graphic biography of Richard Feynman, physicist, educator, horndog, and guy who was by all accounts, a joy at parties. Uses material from Feynman's famous intro to quantum physics lectures to introduce the field of Quantum Electrodynamics (or QED), for which Feynman is probably best known by physicists. Narrated in the first person by Feynman himself. Pays special attention to the influences that his three wives and his sister had on him and his career. Makes me interested in learning more about his sister Joan. I really thought the part with Richard trying to respond to Joan's postcard written in Chinese was going to turn into an example of Searle's “Chinese Room” thouht experiment. Feynman seems a kind of Heinleinian figure, being enough of an oddball that when the 60s moment rolled around, he acquired a level of pop culture notoriety and a some countercultural cache, while never really fitting in with the hippies.
