Fully updated chapters continue to address how technology and increasing levels of education have exposed people to more information than ever before. These societal gains, however, have also helped fuel a surge in narcissistic and misguided intellectual egalitarianism that has crippled informed debates on any number of issues.

Zumindest für Matt Sanders. Eine Reihe von Zufällen sollte nicht nur sein Leben, sondern die Zukunft der ganzen Menschheit ändern. Zumindest der Menschen auf der Erde. Und doch bleiben viele Fragen offen: Was ist wirklich im Chicxulub-Krater abgestürzt? Wieso finden Archäologen einen Pad-Computer unter einem Dinosaurier?
