Being Human: The Search for Order

This feels like a time of environmental and moral crisis without parallel.... Not only do human beings seem not believe in anything but, despite exponential advances in information production, we do not appear to know much either. This book is a guide for everyone who feels understandably perplexed.

The book considers issues as diverse as:
• the lure of alternative religions and belief systems
• the use of the rhetoric of economics to justify amoral
decisionmaking
• Green politics and genetically-modified crops
• New technology’s power to preserve the status quo, and
• the true impetus behind the Human Genome Project.
