Maxime’s combination of conversational tone, awareness of when technical details require elaborating on, and emphasis on explanation all come together to make Maxime’s miniature books invaluable for anyone interested in Zcash and Many-Worlds quantum theory. Our Spotlight Article series highlights our Fellows’ history, contributions, interests, and ideas. More to come. Read or listen to the web version of our article about Maxime and his work here.
