Books That Matter:
Enlightenment Now with Steven Pinker If you follow the headlines, the world in the 21st century appears to be sinking into chaos, hatred and
irrationality. Yet, as Steven Pinker shows, if you follow the trend lines, you discover that our lives have
become longer, healthier, safer and more prosperous – not just in the West, but worldwide. With
intellectual depth and literary flair, Enlightenment Now makes the case for reason, science, and
humanism: the ideals we need to confront our problems and continue our progress.
