Life and work
Appleyard was educated at Bolton School[1] and King's College, Cambridge where he read English. He worked at The Times and then became a freelance journalist. He has also written for the New York Times, Vanity Fair, Daily Telegraph, Spectator, New Statesman, and other publications.[2]
In 1992 he published Understanding the Present which evoked polarizing responses.[3] The book explores his views about "science's corrosive effect on morality".[4] One opposing view is that his views are based on a "tangle of misunderstandings" about the concept of science.[5]
His novel The First Church of the New Millennium incorporates many of the themes common in his newspaper columns, "architecture, popular science and the machine age".[6]
He has been three times Feature Writer of the Year and is currently[when?] Interviewer of the Year in the British Press Awards and a former fellow of the World Economic Forum.[2]
