Beskrivning

Are you evil?In Making Evil, Julia Shaw uses a mix of science, popular culture and real-life examples to investigate the darker side of human nature. How similar is your brain to a psychopath's? How many people have murder fantasies? Can AI be evil? Do your sexual proclivities make you a bad person? Who becomes a terrorist? This is a surprising and wickedly entertaining exploration of a darkly compelling subject.

Lättsam överblick
Julia Shaw rör sig lätt kring ämnet ondska och hur kultur och samhälle förhåller sig till det, men att vår syn kring detta och andra tabun är i ständig förändring.
