Join Kelly Weinersmith at the Edinburgh International Book Festival.

Last year, Zach and Kelly Weinersmith’s A City on Mars won the Royal Society Science Book Prize, a book asking one of humanity’s biggest questions: will we (and how would we, and should we actually maybe not) ever live in space? Hear Kelly Weinersmith chat about this hilarious, wise, deeply-researched project that makes us glad to still live on our third rock from the sun.

Plus, find out which books made 2025’s Trivedi Science Book Prize shortlist.

The Royal Society is proud to support this event at this year's Edinburgh International Book Festival.
