What goes on in a fundamentalist’s head? The authors of two very different books try to answer this question today. In The Ideological Brain, award-winning writer and neuroscientist Leor Zmigrod explains the science behind susceptibility to radicalisation. Meanwhile, Women’s Prize-shortlisted novel Fundamentally by Dr Nussaibah Younis (a globally recognised expert on contemporary Iraq), used her research and experience to write what The Times call ‘Bridget Jones in Iraq’. Chaired by Ali Millar.
