This book is a fascinating and perceptive analysis of not only the way the world works but also the way we really are.
Both memoir and call-to-arms, Tribes explores both the benign and malign effects of our need to belong. How this need – genetically programmed and socially acquired – can manifest itself in positive ways, collaboratively achieving great things that individuals alone cannot. And yet how, in recent years, globalization and digitization have led to new, more pernicious kinds of tribalism.
