Descriere

Is humanity approaching a golden age, driven by technology and ever-closer global networks? This is a thought-provoking face-off of some of the world's most renowned thinkers debating whether we are progressing or if it's just an illusion.

Four of the world’s most renowned thinkers take on one of the biggest debates of the modern era.

“It’s just a brute fact that we don't throw virgins into volcanoes any more. We don't execute people for shoplifting a cabbage. And we used to.” - Steven Pinker

“The idea that because things have gotten better in the past they will continue to do so in the future is a fallacy I would have thought confined to the lower reaches of Wall Street.” - Malcolm Gladwell
