Penguin podcast asks authors to bring with them objects that mean something to them. This week's guest is Italian author Giorgio Agamben, who brought a typewriter. He says he never thought there would be a writer but has been writing since ever. "For many of my generation a typewriter is quintessential writing"
This week on the Penguin Podcast, Nihal is joined by writer, science populariser and theoretical, Carlo Rovelli.
He joins us to talk about the new English translation of his first book, Anaximander.
They all also discuss the singular genius of the philosophers of the past, the importance of questioning our reality, the significance of a typewriter in his writing career, and his admiration for the theoretical physicist John Wheeler.
