Charles Seife

Charles Seife is an American journalist, author and professor at New York University who writes about science, mathematics and the culture of scientific knowledge. He has written for publications including Science, New Scientist and The Economist. Hawking Hawking is a biography of Stephen Hawking that goes beyond the popular myth to examine the real man — his science, his ambition, his personal relationships and the carefully constructed public image that made him the most famous scientist of his era. Seife writes with journalistic rigour and a willingness to challenge hagiography. His audiobooks and books are compelling listening for anyone interested in physics, celebrity culture and the fascinating gap between a legend and the person behind it.
