Synopsis:
In his quest to discover and define what, if anything, makes mankind unique, Costi addresses the great scientific debates of today, from how we acquire language and the fundamental nature of our thinking processes to the possible existence of life elsewhere in the universe. Each chapter is structured in the form of a trial - the conventional scientific wisdom on each topic is presented by the prosecution and the alternative views on the question are then presented by the defense. After the summary arguments, Casti steps in to act as a juror offering an explanation of how and why he voted as he did and requesting that the reader too acts as a juror.
About the Author:
John L. Casti is a member of the faculty of the Santa Fe Institute and a professor at the Technical University of Vienna. He divides his time between Santa Fe, New Mexico and Vienna.
