His day job at the time of writing =E2=80=93 lecturing on politics and ethics at the University of Liverpool, UK =E2=80=93 seems of little moment now, but his sci-fi novels h= ave barely been out of print and still set a dauntingly high bar." https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg24933190-600-last-and-first-men-revi= ew-an-epic-2-billion-year-history-of-humanity/ mjw
