How did life on Earth begin? Is artificial intelligence possible? How do children learn language? Is reality simply a figment of our imagination?Ten years ago, John Casti's Paradigms Lost addressed the 'Big Questions' of modern science. It quickly became a classic of its genre, moving Isaac Asimov to remark 'it would make anyone want to be a scientist'. Now, with science at the beginning of a new century of discovery, Casti returns to the same eternal questions. On issues such as socio-biology and genetics, extraterrestrial life and quantum reality, Paradigms Regained reignites the debate once more, in such a way as to capture the imagination of both the scientist and general reader alike.
