"Utterly fascinating." —Bill Bryson"An incredible journey." —Siddhartha Mukherjee*WINNER OF THE 2025 ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN PUBLISHERS PROSE AWARD FOR BEST BOOK ON BIOLOGY*A groundbreaking exploration of the science of longevity and mortality—from Nobel Prize-winning molecular biologist Venki RamakrishnanThe knowledge of death is so terrifying that we live most of our lives in denial of it. One of the most difficult moments of childhood must be when each of us first realizes that not only we but all our loved ones will die—and there is nothing we can do about it.Or at least, there hasn’t been. Today, we are living through a revolution in biology. Giant strides are being made in understanding why we age—and why some species live longer than others. Could we eventually cheat disease and death and live for a very long time, possibly many times our current lifespan?Venki Ramakrishnan, recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry and former president of the Royal Society, takes us on a riveting journey to the frontiers of biology, asking whether we must be mortal. Covering the recent breakthroughs in scientific research, he examines the cutting edge of efforts to extend lifespan by altering our physiology. But might death serve a necessary biological purpose? What are the social and ethical costs of attempting to live forever?Why We Die is a narrative of uncommon insight and beauty from one of our leading public intellectuals. Read more

"Avi Ma'ayan takes us on an intriguing journey into the inner workings of various complex systems and speculates on the forces and design elements shaping their structure and behaviour. With wide-reaching examples from fields spanning sociology to biology, this book will appeal to anyone intrigued by how we, and the world we live in grows, develops and ultimately...becomes more complex." Insight Editing London"Different schools of thought representing diverse areas of scientific research, such as computer science, sociology, mathematics, physics, economics, and biology, are all placing increasing focus on one concept: complexity. Intriguingly, many common design elements have emerged among these different fields of science. Models of complex systems that capture system structure and dynamics are commonly explained by a few governing principles, such as survival of the fittest, rich-get-richer, or duplication-divergence; but in fact, there are many more forces and design elements acting in concert to shape the structure and behavior of many different types of complex systems. These forces and design elements work in parallel or, sometimes, counteract one another to produce the final behavior of the system, and these interactions manifest as continuous changes, all in one general direction of growth, improved fitness, and increased complexity."
