Arthur C. Clarke’s new book Greetings, Carbon-Based Bipeds! mixes
the old with the new, decade by decade, in the best of his nonfiction, with
brief notes to anchor them in time. Clarke has been fascinated by science and
technology for a long, long time: early pieces date back to the 1930s. A must
for all Clarke fans. Published by Voyager, £19.99, ISBN 000224697X
