About this item
A sharp, hilarious, and heartfelt space nerd’s journey into what made her fall in love with science, blended with irresistible trivia and “wait-why-didn’t-we-learn-this?” profiles of the scientists and mathematicians who advanced humanity… and got erased from the story.
Kalpana Pot did not discover science in a pristine lab. She found it in questions no one around her could fully answer, staring up at the night sky and wondering who figured all of this out and why so many of their names never made the textbook.
In I NEED MY SPACE, she traces the moments that pulled her toward STEM: the early obsessions, the doubts, the unexpected mentors, and the realization that being “too nerdy” could become a calling. Her story unfolds alongside the larger story of science itself, not just the breakthroughs we celebrate, but the overlooked mathematicians, physicists, and innovators whose work quietly changed the world.
Woven through personal anecdotes are sharp, accessible explorations of space and science, the ideas that reshape how we understand the universe, the surprising facts that stay with you, and the cultural blind spots that kept certain pioneers out of the spotlight.
At its core, I NEED MY SPACE is about curiosity, how it forms, how it survives, and how it can open doors that once felt closed. Readers leave with new knowledge, new heroes, and a renewed sense that science belongs to anyone willing to ask better questions.
The hardcover edition features beautifully designed sprayed edges, making the book itself as enchanting as the story within.
