But What If We're Wrong?

In the wildly popular New York Times bestseller (over 300,000 copies sold), cultural critic Chuck Klosterman explores the possibility that our currently held beliefs and assumptions about the world will soon seem absurd. But What If We're Wrong? looks at present-day society the way it will be viewed in the distant future. Covering a spectrum of objective and subjective topics, the book attempts to visualize present-day society as if it were viewed by future generations, including original interviews with a wide range of thinkers and experts, including Neil deGrasse Tyson, Junot Díaz, Amanda Petrusich, Dan Carlin, Richard Linklater, and more. Because we now take many things for granted -- our religious texts and texts on history, science, math -- it's easy to overlook how incredible these ideas are.
