The Heretics by Will Storr
Adventures with the Enemies of Science
In this thought-provoking exploration, the author embarks on a journey to understand why people hold onto beliefs that defy logic and evidence. Through encounters with a diverse array of individuals, from creationists to climate change deniers, the narrative delves into the psychological and cultural factors that shape our convictions. The book challenges readers to question their own assumptions, revealing how deeply ingrained biases and the human desire for certainty can lead to the rejection of scientific truths. It is a compelling examination of the complexities of belief and the human mind's capacity for self-deception.
