While I write about a lot of stuff, my main topic is understanding the relationships -- scientific, environmental, historical, personal and political -- between the human world and its various planets. The books built on that foundation are "Mapping Mars: Science, technology and the creation of a world" (2002), "Eating the Sun: How plants power the planet" (2007), "The Planet Remade: How geoengineering could change the world" (2015) and "The Moon: A history for the future" (2019). Various people, some of them reviewers and prize juries, have said nice things about them. As well as writing books I am currently a senior editor at The Economist responsible for long-form journalism. I've also worked at the scientific journal Nature and at Wired and have freelanced for everyone from the New Yorker and the Wall Street Journal to Entertainment Weekly and the Hollywood Reporter. I do a bit of academic stuff too.
