Just this sort of devastation can be unleashed on the world.
God protect us all from scientists who write!

About Me
- Lt. Cccyxx
- Male, mid 30s, living in DC. Trained as a scientist, but struggled with breadth/depth issues in academia. Now works in policy, where the balance seems a better fit. Simultaneously wants to take over the world and run screaming from it, knows neither can happen. Currently seeking agency representation for my first novel, revising my second, contemplating my third. I blog about books and writing, my life and family, and other assorted subjects...but rarely about science or politics. I usually post once or twice a week and welcome all followers and commenters.

I could make a really bad joke about global warming, but I'll leave that to the scientist-writers out there. ;)
And just think: his crappy novel (evident from the snippets of writing) gets a ton of publicity in the Daily Telegraph while you and I and so many others can't catch a break.
Not that I'm jealous or anything.
Yes, yet another case of being a celebrity leading to publishing a book (as opposed to the other way around). Your comment reminded me also that E.O. Wilson has recently published a novel, and had an extract published as a short story in the New Yorker just a few weeks ago. I couldn't bear to read it.
The Horror!
I'm not buying.
