“In this intense, far-ranging conversation with Matthew d’Ancona, Malcolm Gladwell takes you on a tour of the darker side of human nature, where strangers are never simple and misreading them can have disastrous consequences. In the midst of a pandemic, political turmoil and economic uncertainty, Malcolm uses stories of deceit and fatal errors to cast doubt on our strategies for dealing with the unknown. Why do we so often get other people wrong? Why is it so hard to detect a lie, read a face or judge a stranger’s motives? And how can we make it through the next stage of human history?”
