EP05: ‘Life Itself: Its Origin And Nature’ by Francis Crick

Published in 1981 (and out of print for many decades), ‘Life Itself’ is a controversial, and quite extraordinary, book.

Written by Nobel Prize winning scientist Francis Crick (the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA), Crick asserts that the incredible complexity (and universality) of DNA can only be explained by extraterrestrial origin.

Indeed, Crick asks: was all life on Earth ‘seeded’ by an advanced alien civilization?

Crick himself was no stranger to controversy, with rumours surfacing just after his death that he had experimented with LSD at the very time of his iconic DNA discoveries.

Life Itself

Its Origin and Nature

David Thrussell is a poet trapped in the body of a hillbilly. Or a hopeless romantic hidden in the twisted frame of a dark electronic musician. Late at night Thrussell fantasises that actually he lives next door to Hieronymous Bosch in Medieval Europe and has hallucinated the whole dreadful modern era while suffering from acute ergot poisoning. We are not entirely convinced that this is not the case. The world knows him (if it knows him at all), as the creator of a seeming multitude of obscure recordings (Snog, Black Lung and Soma among others) and film scores. He has written previously for Wax Poetics, Fortean Times and numerous other publications. Listen to book reviews and commentary by Thrussell here: youtube.com/@TheForbiddenBookClub. The 30th Anniversary Remastered Edition of Snog's Lies Inc. has just been released, see lightarmoureditions.bandcamp.com/album/lies-inc-30th-anniversary-remastered-edition
