What is it about evil that we find so comp elling? From our obsession with serial killers to violence in pop culture\ , we seem inescapably drawn to the stories of monstrous acts and the aberr ant people who commit them. But evil\, Dr. Julia Shaw argues\, is largely subjective. What one may consider normal\, like sex before marriage\, eati ng meat\, or working on Wall Street\, others find abhorrent. And if evil i s only in the eye of the beholder\, can it be said to exist at all? In [th is book]\, Shaw uses an engrossing mix of science\, popular culture\, and real-life examples to break down timely and provocative issues. How simila r is your brain to a psychopath's? How many people have murder fantasies? Can artificial intelligence be evil? Do your sexual proclivities make you a bad person? Who becomes a terrorist? If you could travel back in time\, would you kill baby Hitler? In asking these questions\, Shaw urges readers to discover empathy and to rethink and reshape what it means to be bad. [ This book] is a wide-ranging exploration into a fascinating\, darkly compe lling subject from a wickedly smart and talented writer. -From the Publish er
