A deep and engaging explanation of how evolution and extreme historical events can cause publics to become irrational, intolerant, and anti-democratic, from one of the most influential media ethics writers globally.

“Ward offers original insights into what increasingly appears to be a systemic crisis of Western democracies, demonstrating the imperative need to call on the humanities to untangle the multilayered, complex emergencies of our times.” François Heinderyckx, Université libre de Bruxelles
