He is the author of a number of books and reports, including ‘Magisteria: the entangled histories of science and religion’ and his most recent book co-authored with Hannah Waite, 'Playing God: Science, Religion and the Future of Humanity’.

Belle and Justin chat with Nick about aliens, animals and AI. How are the boundaries of science and technology re-enchanting what makes humans unique?
