Science can be exhilarating and awe-inspiring. But it can often feel abstract and remote from everyday concerns. Grasping quantum mechanics won’t help you understand the migration crisis, for instance, and knowing your neurons from your dendrites doesn’t mean you can overcome your irrational brain’s tendency to make bad decisions.The good news is that there is another side to science, one that can help you make sense of our rapidly changing world. Essential Knowledge serves up the stuff you need to know to understand – and negotiate – life in the 21st century, including: AI, migration, fake news, your irrational brain, energy, climate change, the algorithms that run your life, the future of work and much more.
