...actually. Have you ever considered Rodney as an avant-garde super-smelling genius that comes up with a revolutionary (and peer reviled) theory of smell and one who writes alternatingly scathing and beautiful reviews of perfume? Because I have, as I was reading The Emperor of Scent, a nonfiction book about the ins and outs of the perfume industry and the backstabbing academic publishing circles.... But seriously! There is an entire SGA AU in this book.... The genius in question (grudgingly Luca Turin, and not McKay) goes to Russia! And is amazed and enthralled by science and sees *music* in his theories.... I am ashamed, but strangely enthralled....
But yes, I recommend the book; it's a fabulously dishy "science" non-fiction by Chandler Burr that reads like fiction. With really cool science stuff.
