{"product_id":"nonzero-the-logic-of-human-destiny-9780679758945","title":"Nonzero: The Logic of Human Destiny","description":"In his bestselling \u003cb\u003eThe Moral Animal\u003c\/b\u003e, Robert Wright applied the principles of evolutionary biology to the study of the human mind. Now Wright attempts something even more ambitious: explaining the direction of evolution and human history-and discerning where history will lead us next. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003cb\u003eNonzero: The Logic of Human Destiny\u003c\/b\u003e, 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. Here is history endowed with moral significance-a way of looking at our biological and cultural evolution that suggests, refreshingly, that human morality has improved over time, and that our instinct to discover meaning may itself serve a higher purpose. Insightful, witty, profound, \u003cb\u003eNonzero\u003c\/b\u003e offers breathtaking implications for what we believe and how we adapt to technology's ongoing transformation of the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780679758945\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/07\/2001 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/26\/2001 pg. 95\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/08\/2009 pg. 30\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Robert Wright","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36639904759964,"sku":"9780679758945","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_126e1cd3-d2db-4ccf-9770-165aebb41113.jpg?v=1603850880","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/nonzero-the-logic-of-human-destiny-9780679758945","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
