Science is driving our culture and our conversation like never before, transforming the social, political, economic, military, artistic, and intellectual landscape. Today, science is culture: the boundaries that have defined scientific disciplines, and indeed the boundary that segregated the sciences from the humanities, no longer stand.

In this spirit, the popular science magazine Seed has organized the “Seed Salons,” in which a scientist is paired with a non-scientist to discuss shared ideas around a common theme. Science Is Culture features conversations between, among others:

E.O. Wilson & Daniel Dennett
Steven Pinker & Rebecca Goldstein
Alan Lightman & Richard Colton
Neil DeGrasse Tyson & Alexis Rockman
Laurie David & Stephen Schneider
Lisa Randall & Chuck Hoberman
Michel Gondry & Robert Stickgold
David Byrne & Daniel Levitin
Noam Chomsky & Robert Trivers
Janna Levin & Jonathan Lethem
Marc Hauser & Errol Morris
John Nash & Patti Smith
Tom Wolfe & Michael Gazzaniga

The book also features an introduction by Seed founder and editor-in-chief Adam Bly, who expresses his vision for a more robust and true understanding of the natural world through the interdisciplinary science-based thinking exemplified in the Seed Salons.
