About

Stephen Cave is a philosopher, diplomat and writer. He has a PhD in metaphysics from the University of Cambridge, where he also taught on subjects including the existence of God and what happens if your brain is cut in two.  He subsequently worked as a diplomat in Her Majesty's Foreign Office before dedicating himself to writing.  Based in Berlin, he now writes mostly for the Financial Times and New York Times on a wide range of philosophical, ethical and scientific subjects from free will to fame.

Stephen's first book IMMORTALITY shows that the real driving force of human civilisation is our quest to live forever.  There are exactly four ways in which cultures throughout history have pursued this quest, he argues and science is now telling us which of them have a chance of success.  This ground-breaking book draws together the latest research from a host of disciplines in a way that is accessible, entertaining and deeply thought-provoking.
 
IMMORTALITY will be published in April 2012 (by Biteback in the UK; by Crown/Random House in the US and Canada). A German edition (UNSTERBLICH) will be published in March 2012 (by Fischer Verlag).
