Do Humankind’s Best Days Lie Ahead? by Steven Pinker
An energetic exchange wrestles with whether the human future will be better or worse, contrasting data-driven optimism about declining violence and expanding health, wealth, and knowledge with warnings about inequality, environmental strain, and technological risk. Through arguments and rebuttals, the participants probe how far reason, science, and open institutions can sustain progress amid uncertainty. The debate leaves readers with a nuanced framework for weighing hope against caution about what lies ahead.
