Quantum - Paperback of the Week in the Observer

Abit of bio

I have degrees in physics and philosophy. I co-wrote Science and the Retreat from Reason, which introduced key areas of modern science while defending notions of social progress and scientific advance.

Published in 1995, it was critically acclaimed as a ‘corrective to the hype’, ‘thought-provoking’, and ‘undoubtedly one of the best introductions one can find to the crisis of confidence within science itself’.

I've written and reviewed for various publications including the Guardian, Independent, Times, Daily Telegraph, New Scientist, Financial Times, Daily Telegraph, Wall Street Journal, Literary Review and Tehelka. I was Consulting Science Editor at the UK edition of Wired and live in north London.
