Sašo Dolenc is a physicist and philosopher who has long been writing about science in various Slovenian media (from print to the online Kvarkadabra). His areas of interest are the history of science, as well as astonishing scientific facts and paradoxes, and the latest scientific discoveries published in new foreign books that Dolenc regularly reviews. He has published his texts in several books for adults so far, and two were also intended for younger readers. We can also place the work From Genes to Stars, intended for teenagers, in this context, which brings a new package of revised and supplemented, mostly already published thematically diverse texts, in which Dolenc reaches out to various scientific, including psychological, fields. The beginning and end of the book are, for example, significant and representative: in the first story, Dolenc introduces us to Slovenian computer scientists a few dozen years ago, when they were at the forefront of the world, when they were "creating" a kind of intranet in Cankarjev Dom, commissioned by the Chinese, with which they were supposed to connect ten Chinese cities. The book concludes with the story of Steve Jobs, who lived every day as if it were his last, which encouraged him to always do only what he thought was most important. Short science stories for teenage bedtime stories. (adapted from Bukla)
