The book focuses on why people make political decisions against their own self-interest, documenting the extent to which people are manipulated by bad-faith actors. In the book, Moscrop argues that democracy is under threat but can be saved, emphasising the need for good process to resolve disagreements. The book documents the neuroscience of human decision making, and breaks decisions into two types that Moscrop calls "autopilot" and "long-form", stating that people too frequently rely on the former when the later would serve them better. He writes of the importance of wanting to make better decisions and learning how to do so. Critical reception
