Heresies: Against Progress and Other Illusions
John Gray
Granta UK
By the author of the best-selling <I>Straw Dogs,</I> this book is a characteristically trenchant and unflinchingly clear-sighted collection of reflections on our contemporary lot. Whether writing about the future of our species on this planet, the folly of our faith in technological progress, or the self-deceptions of the liberal establishment, John Gray dares to be heretical like few other thinkers today.
