For fans of Ed Yong and Brian Cox: a dazzling scientific and cultural adventure through our ideas about extraterrestrial life
One of the most potent questions we ask about the cosmos is: are we alone?
From astrobiology to exoplanets in the 'Goldilocks Zone', Jaime Green traces our understanding of what and where life in the universe could be, drawing on the long tradition of scientists, writers and artists who have stimulated research by extrapolating worlds.
Bringing together expert interviews, cutting-edge astronomy, philosophical enquiry and pop culture touchstones ranging from A Wrinkle in Time to Star Trek, The Possibility of Life delves into our evolving conception of the cosmos to wonder what we might find... out there.
'Thoughtful, witty and profound - a dazzling feat of imagination and synthesis that had me hooked from the first page' - Ed Yong, bestselling author of An Immense World
'An entertaining and instructive rumination on both earthbound existence and the prospect of extraterrestrial encounter' - TLS
'Few modern scientific tales are as thrilling as the quest to understand the origins of biology on Earth, and the hunt for life beyond. An incredibly compelling story, beautifully told' - Lewis Dartnell, author of Being Human
'A fascinating and thoughtful reminder of the fact that we may not be alone. Highly recommended' - Jeff Vandermeer, New York Times-bestselling author of Annihilation
'An accessible, weird, funny and ultimately illuminating look into the search for life beyond our world' - Chuck Wendig, bestselling author of Star Wars: Aftermath
'The Possibility of Life left me dizzy with awe and brimming with hope. Jaime Green elegantly uncorks our tiny patch of the universe and takes us on a tour of our best and worst approximations of aliens... A steadfast, witty, and charming guide through this cosmic murk' - Sabrina Imbler, author of My Life in Sea Creatures
