  • What Others Say

    There are no simple answers to the big issues this book grapples with, and it does not seek to offer any. It simply presents different strands of thought to the reader in a vivid and intelligible way and asks them to think about them, discuss them, and read more deeply about them. It is an inspiring attempt to explore the shape of a future society we would all want to live in.

    - Mark Simpson KC
