Lunacy

“A harsh—and much needed—reality check.”—Liz Greene, Nautilus
“As an effective, digestible introduction to a swirling and often grandiose field, Lunacy will find its mark with readers wanting a ready resource to combat common arguments… . Bramble’s call to keep our feet on the ground, and first build a fairer world from which to look to the skies, isn’t without a certain beauty of its own.”—Sam Finnemore, New Zealand Listener
“It’s a thought-pro­vok­ing, page-turn­ing read. ★★★★★”—Ben Evans, BBC Sky at Night Magazine
“Lunacy is the perfect book to have in your back pocket when those tricky, philosophical, existential, history-of-humanity, private sector, New Space Age arguments spontaneously arise at your local pub.”—Mark Parry, Good Reading Magazine
“A useful and engaging corrective to the New Space Age boosterism indulged in by so much of the media. And Bramble’s final words pull no punches.”—Steven French, Concatenation
