About the author:

The author introduces Ian McEwan (1948 -), who graduated from the University of Sussex in Brighton with a bachelor's degree and obtained a master's degree from the University of East Anglia. Since 1974, McEwan has settled down in London, and the first short and medium story published the following year won the Maugham Prize for Literature. Since then, his creative career has been intertwined with the shortlist of various awards. Among them, Amsterdam won the Booker Award, Children in Time won the Whitbread Award, and Atonement won the National Book Critics Association Award. It is a major tendency of McEwan's writing in recent years to highlight realistic concerns in his literary creation. His concern and discussion of social hot topics are often reflected in his works, such as the "Brexit" dilemma in Britain, the development of artificial intelligence, and so on. In 2019, he published the AI themed novel "A Machine Like Me", followed by the novella "Cockroach", which satirized Britain's "Brexit". Over the years, McEwan has kept writing, paying close attention to the hot spots of the times, and maintaining a strong creative power. Content introduction What We Are Talking About When We Talk About Science is a collection of essays on science and humanities by British national writer Ian McEwan, which was included in the classic Vintage Minis anthropology series of Penguin Random House. The book includes five essays of McEwan: "literature, science and humanity", "species originality", "parallel tradition", "doomsday blues" and "self". Focusing on the relationship between literature, science and human nature, the author expounds his incisive, unique and philosophical views, supplemented by several public cases in the history of science - Darwin or Wallace first proposed the theory of evolution? Does general relativity belong to Einstein or to German mathematician Hilbert? There are also letters written by Leeuwenhoek to the British Royal Society... From science to literature, McEwan's words are vivid, interesting, philosophical, and travel between sensibility and rationality.
