OUR COVER STORY
In our first issue, James Felton tackles a topical subject for the modern human in How To Talk To A Conspiracy Theorist. Should you engage? And if so, how?
DEEP DIVE
There’s a lot of talk in science fiction about cryonically freezing the dead so they can be brought back to life in the distant future, but can humans really survive being frozen like a popsicle? Madelaine Chapman investigates in our eye-opening Deep Dive.
WE HAVE QUESTIONS
Ever wondered what delicious-looking lava would taste like? As luck would have it, so did Francesca Benson who speaks to two volcanologists about the texture and – if you’re not dead – taste of the hot stuff.
WHERE ON EARTH
Did you know that in Italy there is a fig tree growing upside-down from the ceiling of the ruins of Ancient Rome’s answer to Las Vegas? Yeah, neither did we. Rachael Funnell discusses the city in which it sprouted and how you can get there.
EXCLUSIVE: MEET THE AUTHOR
