Description:
In 1997, acclaimed science author Casti led a dozen writers to a remote village called Abisko to discuss the nature of scientific truth. Their discussions focused on one major question: How do the stories that scientists tell each other, and the public, affect the way they do their science? This book is the outcome of that meeting of minds. Each chapter is by a noted scientist or science fiction writer who practices science, including: John Barros, Greg Bear, Ian Stewardt, Gregory Benford, Larry Niven, and John Casti. 11 of the world's top scientist-authors examine the phenomenon of science as storytelling. The tales scientists tell each other are often more mysterious than those they tell the public.
