Благодарности
Идея этой книги родилась в ходе беседы с Беном Лилли, владельцем зала Caveat в Манхэттене. Мы гуляли по Нижнему Ист-Сайду, и я спросил, как он смотрит на то, чтобы предоставить мне площадку для нескольких бесед на тему живого и жизни. Это будет несложно организовать, заверил я Бена, и тот задумался: а не стоит ли мне и впрямь попробовать? Задача оказалась сложнее, чем я думал, но усилия, безусловно, были потрачены не зря. Я побеседовал с восемью мыслителями, глубоко обдумывающими проблему жизни: Сарой Уокер, Карлосом Марискалем, Джимом Кливзом, Калебом Шарфом, Джереми Ингландом, Стивеном Беннером, Донато Джованнелли и Кейт Адамалой. Из этих моих диалогов мы с Беном при поддержке Science Sandbox (проект Фонда Саймонса) создали подкаст carlzimmer.com/podcasts. Однако любопытство мое утолено не было, оно лишь усугубилось. Когда я сказал своему коллеге Эду Йонгу
[414], что задумал книгу о жизни, он ответил, что такую книгу и ему захотелось бы прочесть. И здесь я хочу поблагодарить всех, кто помог мне оказаться на линии старта этого марафона.
