‘The beauty of this book is that it reclaims the most profound reality that any of us know – the reality of our selves – from a scientific world that seeks to deny choice, wonder, and mystery. Le Fanu infuses his book with a sense of the miraculous…It is impossible to express how refreshing I found this beautifully written and profound book…The fact that these rarely stated realities are so superbly brought to life here makes this a brave, brilliant and fascinating book.’
Tim Lott, Sunday Telegraph ‘
“Why Us?” explores the fascinating ramifications of these insights, from explaining the gaps in the theory of evolution to re-examining the notion of a human soul. Le Fanu’s argument is simple and compelling; a bold attempt to reunite science with a sense of wonder.’
Sunday Times
‘Enthralling…One of the glories of Le Fanu’s scientifically erudite and beautifully written book is that such a sense of wonder is evident on every page, even as he lucidly analyses the limitations of that narrow intellectual prison in which science has languished too long.’
Christopher Booker, Spectator
