    • I read it just after university, full of the belief that intellectual brilliance is the answer to every problem.

    • Pinker takes accepted wisdom — that with nuclear arms and terrorism, where individuals, not only states, can afford and create weapons of mass destruction — that the present is a far more violent place than the past; and with his usual relentless research, wide-reaching grasp, and vivid writing style, demonstrates the opposite. Allowing for a future not just of doom and gloom, but of hope and possibility.
