Through the medium of a review article of I You We Them by Dan Gretton, the author explores the significance for the shaping of our current world of the desk killers of modern history. He reflects on what this means for human beings and human relationships today, in the light not only of the ongoing and accelerating climate crisis, but the immediate existential upheaval caused by Covid-19. For this is reshaping our society even as we go to press.
