Fundamentals: Ten Keys to Reality (2021) is a popular science book about advanced physics by Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek.[1]

According to the author:[2]

This is a book about fundamental lessons we can learn from the study of the physical world. ... Here I've tried to convey the central messages of modern physics as simply as possible, while not compromising accuracy. ...
I've selected ten broad principles as my fundamentals. Each forms the theme of one chapter. In the body of each chapter, I explain and document that chapter's theme from different perspectives, and then make some informed guesses about its future developments.
