Dan Sperber - "We are survival machines — robot vehicles blindly programmed to preserve the selfish molecules known as genes. This is a truth which still fills me with astonishment... One of my hopes is that I may have some success in astonishing others." That hope, expressed by Richard Dawkins in the preface of The Selfish Gene, has been more than fulfilled, Published 30 years ago, The Selfish Gene has been, and remains, one of the most influential science books of all time. To celebrate this anniversary, a third edition has been released, along with Richard Dawkins: How a Scientist Changed the Way We Think. The latter is a collection of comments and testimonials edited by Alan Grafen and Mark Ridley.
