The Science of Fate by Hannah Critchlow
Are we really the masters of our own destiny? Neuroscientist Hannah Critchlow shows how far our future is already hardwired in our brains. Like Sapiens and Thinking Fast and Slow, The Science of Fate revolutionises the way we understand our species and ourselves.
'It's been the question that has inspired, stultified and petrified humanity across the millenniaWhat is our fate? From the goddess Nemesis to the theory of free will we've struggled. Until now. Acute, mind-opening, highly accessible - this book doesn't just explain how our lives might pan out, it helps us live better.' -- Bettany Hughes
'A humane and highly readable account of the neuroscience that underpins our ideas of free will and fate' -- Professor David Runciman
'A truly fascinating - if unnerving - read' * The Telegraph *
