About Atlas Hugged (Unabridged)

" Atlas Hugged signals a revolution in the way we see the world and our rightful place within it. Not a violent revolution, thankfully, but an intellectual revolution." With these words, David Sloan Wilson invites listeners into a fictional world that mirrors events taking place in the real ]rapid evolution of worldwide cooperation. Wilson is uniquely positioned to tell this story. As a scientist, he helped to lay the theoretical foundation for the intellectual revolution with books such as Unto Others (with philosopher Elliott Sober), Darwin's Cathedral , and Does Altruism Exist? As a nonfiction writer, his books Evolution for Everyone , The Neighborhood Project , and This View of Life already reach a wide audience. With Atlas Hugged , Wilson returns to his familial roots as the son of novelist Sloan Wilson, who helped to define the 1950s with his novels The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit and A Summer Place . There is nothing like a story to convey a moral worldview. Atlas Hugged is many things, but above all, it is a story of two young people trying to tell right from wrong without needing to peer through a tissue of lies.
