What books are there on the shelves in Interstellar?

"Only love can make us transcend dimension, time and space." In the movie, Dr. Brand, played by Anne Hathaway, said so. However, in Nolan's sci-fi epic, we can see that bookshelves can also do this. In the recent hit film Interstellar directed by Christopher Nolan, at the beginning of the film, Murphy, a young girl, tries to decrypt books that fall randomly from the shelves. She firmly believes that the "ghost" she said is transmitting information with books. In fact, Nolan does have ulterior motives: the books he chose for Murphy's bookshelf are not only consistent with the characters in the film, but also convey his own ideological world.

"The Stand" tells the story that because of the spread of an influenza virus, terror suddenly falls on people who live a happy life, and lies, fears and deaths are naked in the end-time plot.

Thomas Pynchon's gravitational rainbow

If you think Interstellar's brainstorming is just a piece of cake, try Pynchon's Gravitational Rainbow, which is regarded by countless readers as a masterpiece covering such unpopular topics as modern physics, rocket engineering, advanced mathematics, sexual psychology and abnormal sex. The novel tells the story of the German V-2 rocket attacking London. Both American and British intelligence agencies want the secrets of rockets. They found that the landing point of the rocket often coincides with the place where American military officers make love, so they began to study … ..
