On February 7, 1979, Pluto crossed over Neptune’s orbit and became the eighth planet from the sun for twenty years.

I needed to read this book. I really did. Bregman takes up the long running conversation around whether humanity, as a species, is good or bad at the core. Are we evil, self serving, barbaric, held barely in check by the veneer of civilization? Or are we in fact motivated…
