Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Julia Shaw shows us that the same dispositions that make us capable of heinous crimes may also work to our advantage. And asks, if evil is within all of us, should it be said to exist at all?

In Making Evil, Shaw uses a mix of science, popular culture and real-life examples to investigate the darker side of human nature. How similar is your brain to a psychopath's? How many people have murder fantasies? Can AI be evil? Do your sexual proclivities make you a bad person? Who becomes a terrorist? This is a wide-ranging exploration into a fascinating, darkly compelling subject.
