Description:
Is violence a virus? Can your genes make you a killer? Why, after all, are we humans so willing to hurt each other? In The Babel Effect, a brilliant husband and wife research team get a blank check from a billionaire industrialist to find the answers to these most urgent of questions. Beginning as a neurological study of murderers on death row, their research takes them from prison cells to war zones as it forces them to doubt their most basic assumptions about the human spirit -- and themselves.
Expand description
They quickly learn that our propensity for violence behaves like a disease, like something contagious. But is this violence an ancient plague or a new nightmare? Can they find a cure? Can they survive the search?
As real as the astonishing and often disquieting news coming out of today's biotechnology revolution, as disturbing as our most unshakable suspicions of global conspiracy, The Babel Effect is a thriller that reminds us why we're afraid of the dark -- especially the dark within us.
