Goodreads asked Mike Tranter:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Mike Tranter I am a neuroscientists with lots of fancy degrees including a PhD. Whenever I tell people that, they always gesture that I am very intelligent, and go on to explain that 'they could never understand neuroscience and the brain'.
This, is simply not true. Science is for everyone, and so I wanted to ask people, "what have you always wanted to know?" Questions about the brain were submitted through a social media campaign and I set about answering them in a fun and simple way so that everyone can learn and enjoy, regardless of scientific background.
