Solar by Ian McEwan (Paperback)

Michael Beard, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, has made a career out of other people’s ideas and a habit of sabotaging his own life. When a series of personal and professional crises collide, he finds himself pursuing a breakthrough in renewable energy. But ambition, infidelity and greed threaten to undermine his plans in this darkly comic novel about human folly, scientific progress and the complexities of climate change.
