Jonas Bendiksen is a Norwegian photographer who spent three years tracking down seven men - well mostly men - one's transgender - who claim to be the next Messiah.

Carlo Rovelli is a theoretical physicist who became a household name when his book Seven Brief Lessons on Physics became an unexpected international bestseller. His concise, and poetic, introduction to the laws and beauty of physics has sold more than a million copies.
