Green's voice is rigorous, curious, tender, and often rightfully bemused. Thoughtful, witty and profound, Jaime Green has crafted a dazzling feat of imagination and synthesis that had me hooked from the first page' * Ed Yong, New York Times-bestselling author of 'I Contain Multitudes' and 'An Immense World' * 'Jaime Green's The Possibility of Life takes the reader on an utterly gripping, endlessly surprising voyage from the "hopeful monsters" of early multicellular organisms to the records of human existence hurtling beyond the edge of our solar system.

'Jaime Green skilfully interweaves fact and fiction, interviews and close reading, as she explores who or what might populate the heavens.
