Bioquestions and the mechanical answer

by Didier Newman

This is a book of questions, some of which are funny whereas many others are more serious, puzzling and disturbing. A book in which biology is used as a foundation to build a down-to-earth narrative, in the hope of addressing all basic human concerns from a modern, casual and holistic perspective. Thus, an excellent book to question life and death, religions and philosophies, the self and the universe, technology and knowledge, love and sorrow, and so on; in short, questioning what surely needs to be questioned, in different ways and with enough substance for dreams and reflections of both a scientific and humanistic nature. Above all, with enough substance so that the reader may question the music or the noise of the world that can be heard everywhere on a daily basis, full of selfish and extraneous interests.

[Mario Powell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome science-philoshpyc book. A powerful flood of subtle ideas that ponder over the basic scientific ground of biology while dealing with the obvious limitations of any kind of knowlegde; alongside it presents plentiful of deep and disturbing questions about nature and human concerns such as technology, religions, death or love. Indeed, when one catches its challenging and heavy style the mind can move along and between the lines, and maybe one understands the very relation between true science and the familiar human psycological structure.
