Shows how the Soviet Union's scientists became both the glory and the laughing stock of the intellectual world. The author weaves together what happened when a handful of impoverished and underemployed graduates, professors and entrepreneurs, collectors and charlatans, bound themselves to a failing government to create a world superpower.
