In Nonzero: The Logic of Human Destiny, Wright asserts that ever since the primordial ooze life has followed a basic pattern: Organisms and human societies alike have grown more complex by mastering the challenges of internal cooperation. Wright's narrative ranges from fossilized bacteria to vampire bats, from stone-age villages to the World Trade Organization, uncovering such surprises as the benefits of barbarian hordes and the useful stability of feudalism. Like the Pulitzer Prize-winning Guns, Germs, and Steel, here is history endowed with moral significance. Insightful, witty, profound, Nonzero offers breathtaking implications for what we believe and how we adapt to technology's ongoing transformation of the world.
