520 |a In this young adult adaptation of his book, Oluseyi (born James Plummer) tells how he faced years of bullying and abuse, and adopted the persona of "gangsta nerd," dealing weed in juke joints while winning state science fairs with computer programs that model Einstein's theory of relativity. The promise of a bright future in the physics PhD program at Stanford University was dulled by a dangerous crack cocaine habit he developed in college and the entrenched racism and classism of the scientific establishment, before he finally seized his dream of a life in astrophysics. Here Oluseyi shares his quest across an ever-expanding universe filled with entanglement and choice. -- adapted from adult edition
