Falling For Science is Bernard Beckett’s sole non-fiction title, published in 2007. The book reflects his interest in science, which also appears in the speculative elements of his novels. Beckett taught science at a high school in New Zealand, and that teaching background shapes his approach to making scientific ideas accessible.
The book stands as an interesting companion to his fiction, particularly Genesis, which grapples with questions about consciousness, evolution, and artificial intelligence. Readers who enjoy Beckett’s philosophical novels may appreciate seeing how he engages with scientific ideas outside of a fictional framework.
