The hard science is explained with beautiful clarity, and a characteristic mischievous wit ... It is a bracing corrective
Steven Poole, Guardian
This restlessly thoughtful and forward-looking book ... is partly a defence of a lifetime's ideas, but mostly an argument about how AI is soon to overtake us - and what that means for our species
James McConnachie, The Times
Leavened with wit and optimism ... Novacene is the collected wisdom of an elder of our tribe which more than repays the short time it takes to read.
Stephen Cave, Financial Times
Novacene reads like undiluted Lovelock. From the start of his writing life - no matter how tortuous the narrative or complex the argument - Lovelock has written persuasively. ... if you want a sense of hyperintelligence in bipedal form, Novacene is a good place to start.
Tim Radford, Nature
