![]() ![]() Intuition is a character study, a detective story, and a philosophical meditation all wrapped up into one supremely enjoyable, devastatingly smart package. This is a fantastic, exceptionally well-written and compulsively readable novel. It was mainly curiosity, therefore, that caused me to pick up Goodman's novel, but within a few pages I was hopelessly hooked. ![]() ![]() As one of the characters in Allegra Goodman's novel Intuition says: "Can I tell you about the research that goes on here? People are saving lives every day in theory, in the future." Off the top of my head, I can only think of one novel, Gregory Benford's Timescape, which tries to depict the reality of the scientific process-painstaking, meticulous, and above all slow. The popular SFnal depiction of scientists falls somewhere between Rodney McKay and Gaius Baltar-glorified engineers coming up with off-the-cuff solutions to immediate problems. In any genre, depictions of science and scientific research are rare, and in SF in particular one more often comes across science in its processed form, technology. Then again, I suspect that neither does anybody else. This is a funny thing for a science fiction fan to say, but I don't read a lot of novels about scientists. ![]() ![]() ![]() In Ishmael, which received the Turner Tomorrow Fellowship for the best work of fiction offering positive solutions to global problems, Daniel Quinn parses humanity's origins and its relationship with nature, in search of an answer to this challenging question- How can we save the world from ourselves?

It is the story of a man who embarks on a highly provocative intellectual adventure with a gorilla-a journey of the mind and spirit that changes forever the way he sees the world and humankind's place in it.

So why do people keep asking me if I’m safe here? Last week, I found myself assuring a kind older gentleman in town from Boston - where violent crime has been creeping up after pandemic lows - that he was almost certainly perfectly fine walking around the swanky restaurant-laden blocks near Times Square. By the official crime numbers, the most dangerous year that I’ve lived in New York City was the first one - by a lot. The “non-major” felony data has followed a similar arc, dropping almost 30 percent since 2005. By 2017, it was around 96,000, where it stayed until last year, when it snuck back over 100,000, mostly due to an increase in grand larcenies, auto and otherwise. The next year, that number dropped, and it kept dropping. ![]() In 2005, the year I moved to New York City, the NYPD recorded 135,475 crimes in the seven “major felony” categories - homicides, assaults, rapes, and various forms of theft. ![]() |
