ABOUT THE BOOK

Hi, I’m Tim. I write the blog Wait But Why, where I write about all kinds of
things. But in the middle of 2016, I started thinking about a new topic: why my
society sucked. As technology soared ahead, it seemed like we were going
backwards in wisdom. Tribalism was flaring up everywhere, mass shaming campaigns
were roaring back into fashion, politicians were increasingly clown-like, public
discourse had become a battle of one-dimensional narratives. I decided to write
about it, which plunged me into a rabbit hole like no other. Six years later, I
emerged with this book. The book introduces a new framework for thinking about
our complex political environment. With dozens of new terms and concepts and 303
drawings, it’s a toolbox for understanding our societies, our group dynamics,
and our own minds. Here’s everything on all the pages:





See how much shit is in there? That took a really long time and I’m happy it’s
over. Anyway, stop procrastinating by reading all the way down on this page and
go read the book, and then we can discuss.
