Steven Pinker has spent thirty years making hard subjects feel easy, from the language instinct and the blank slate to the decline of violence and the case for progress. This is a reader's guide to the lot, written by someone who has read most of the books twice and isn't a fan-club member.
It keeps the factual claims separate from the moral ones, which Pinker asks his readers to do and doesn't always manage himself. And it takes his famous graphs seriously enough to check the axes.
What you get: a ZIP file containing the book as a PDF (130 pages) and an EPUB, so you can read it on a computer, tablet or e-reader.
