There are now details of my new book, Serving the Reich, on the Books page. It is published in October of this year by Bodley Head.

Also, I am appearing at the Hay Festival and at the philosophy festival How The Light Gets In at the end of this month - see Talks for details.

My new book Curiosity: How Science Became Interested in Everything is now out. I will be talking about it at, among other places, the Hay Festival in early June.

 

June 2012

PDF

I have a new mini-book out in collaboration with the European FuturICT project (see here). It is a brisk read of just 70 pages, and surveys what has been achieved, and what might be to come, in modelling social phenomena ranging from traffic to crime as complex systems. The title is Why Society is a Complex Matter - for more details, see here.

 

December 2011

PDF

I have begun a new weekly column in the Saturday Guardian, called The Critical Scientist. In theory this is intended to fill in a six-month gap while Ben Goldacre is otherwise engaged, but it depends somewhat on how the Guardian's parlous financial situation develops. The first column is here.

And The Sun and Moon Corrupted has just been published in Italian, by Dedalo.
