Rovelli sets loop quantum gravity against string theory, the rival program Brian Greene popularized in The Elegant Universe, as the two leading attempts to unify relativity with quantum mechanics.
Brian Greene's The Elegant Universe is invoked as the canonical popular exposition of the string-theory alternative to Rovelli's loop approach.
