It is nice to have a description of this very topical field in the (translated) words of one of the main players in the field. It is aimed at a very general readership and in terms of style and level of content. There were two quantum revolutions, in both of which Einstein played an important role. The first was quantum mechanics itself. The second can be defined to start with John Bell's publication of his famous inequalities. The book provides an easily digestible summary of the topic, keeping with Einstein's dictum to make everything as simple as possible but not simpler.
