with meta-humans—genetically engineered human beings who are better-looking, healthier, more athletic and smarter than regular people. When America finds out that not only has the government kept it a secret how many metas there really are in the world, but that they’re also prone to violence, panic sets in.

But while we may be self-interested schemers, we benefit by pretending otherwise. The less we know about our own ugly motives, the better - and thus we don't like to talk or even think about the extent of our selfishness. This is "the elephant in the brain." Such an introspective taboo makes it hard for us to think clearly about our nature and the explanations for our behavior. The aim of this book, then, is to confront our hidden motives directly - to track down the darker, unexamined c...
