"Gardner's is not a 'how-to-do-it' book for the conduct of modern society. It is something rarer these days and more basic: a 'why-to-do-it' book. Its impact on many readers is bound to be challenging and stimulating and even inspirational."-Clark Kerr, Science

This is a long essay on society and individuals, not particularly entertaining, but interesting. (
