When We Cease to Understand the World by Benjamín Labatut. It is about scientists that are fully consumed by their work, going mad somtimes. Their work is making a world a better place, but at the same time is used to kill lots of people. This is the first book for me that I can say is beautifully written. Even though the subject was heavy at times, I couldn't stop reading it.
