The New Leviathans by John Gray review should we abandon hope and prepare for anarchy?
Book of the dayPhilosophy booksReviewThe philosopher falls back on generalities and sketches of oddballs in his latest, sometimes frenzied assault on liberalism and humanity
This is a punchy book, and its punches are meant for people like me: people who long to live in a society where lives are cherished, truth is revered, and everyone can speak their mind.

Twenty two years ago, California surf hippies Incubus were hurtling towards multi-platinum status on the back of Drive, an acoustic road-trip anthem which found its way into the US Top 10 and the repertoire of many a bedroom guitarist.
