Overview
Playing on the phrase āa theory of everythingā from physics, Michael Muthukrishnaās ambitious, original, and deeply hopeful book A Theory of Everyone draws on the most recent research from across the sciences, humanities, and the emerging field of cultural evolution to paint a panoramic picture of who we are and what exactly makes human beings different from all other forms of life on the planet.
Muthukrishna argues that it is our unique ability to create culture, a shared body of knowledge, skills, and experience passed on from generation to generation, that has enabled our current dominance. But it is only by understanding and applying the laws of lifeāthe need for energy, innovation, cooperation, and evolutionāthat we can solve the practical and existential challenges we face as a species. A Theory of Everyone attempts to provide solutions for the most pressing problems of our collective future, such as polarization, inequality, the āgreat stagnationā in productivity, and the energy crisis.
Casting a bold and wide net, Muthukrishnaās book is a must-read for anyone interested in a better future for ourselves and for generations to come.
