For somebody writing about astrobiology, I haven't read much science fiction, even though there are obvious parallels and connections. Thus the book
The possibility of life
by Jaime Green
came in handy to fill me in on some of the relevant books that I should have read. As in astrobiology, the author ponders the deep questions of how to find, recognise and deal with extraterrestrial life, but mostly from the perspective of the imaginary encounters of the sci-fi world.
More about it in my long essay review now out:
Imaginary aliens
Chemistry & Industry Volume 88, Issue 1, January 2024, Page 34
access via:
Wiley Online Library (paywalled PDF of the whole review section)
SCI (premium content, ie members only)
As always, I'm happy to send a PDF on request.
