This is a quick note to draw your attention to a piece I've just published that I'm very proud to share. Tomorrow's Sunday Review in the New York Times features a long essay I adapted from my new book Life's Edge. It's called "The Secret Life of a Coronavirus."
In my essay, I touch on a couple of the big questions in my book: what does it take to be alive, and what are we to make of the things that don't quite meet our requirements? Our current pandemic is the work of one such hard case.
I hope you enjoy the essay. If you like it, there's a lot more to be had in my book, which is coming out in ten days. You can pre-order it here. (FYI, pre-ordering is a great way to support all the authors you like, because it helps draw attention to their books in the first week after they're published.)
The illustration for the article, by Khyati Trehan, is gorgeous (and even more so when it comes to "life" on the NYT web site.)
That's all for now. Stay safe!
