A World without Stars

Imagine Earth wholly shrouded in thick, perennial clouds, and our ancestors looking up at night to see... nothing. How radically altered would have been the story of our species on such a planet! Cosmologist Roberto Trotta, author of Starborn, explores in conversation with philosopher Carissa Véliz the hidden story of how the stars have made us who we are, from prehistory to AI.
