What Is Your Dangerous Idea?: Today's Leading Thinkers on the Unthinkable

Knowledge has power and power goes all ways. Such knowledge has historically held the threat or promise (depending on how one looks at it) that can change our lives for better or worse, neither or both.

Editor John Brockman has compiled a collection of works from public intellectuals and scientists that touch upon what they consider to be their most dangerous idea. Featuring an introduction from John Pinkman and an afterword by Richard Dawkins, this book has ideas that run the gamut from how psychopharmacology could have dire implications for our personalities to perspectives on how we might be staring at the void of the universe right in the face.
