“Brilliant presenter and writer Ramona Koval talks to the ever-engaging Robyn Annear about her latest non-fiction title, a kaleidoscopic portrait of humanity written with warmth, insight and curiosity. A Letter to Layla is a wide-reaching, totally compelling look at what makes us human, from the traits of our earliest hominid ancestors through to the terrifying promise of artificial intelligence. Woven throughout are Ramona's observations of her three-year-old granddaughter, Layla, and her hopes and fears for Layla's generation.

Ramona Koval is a writer, journalist and former broadcaster on Radio National.
