Planet In Our Hands

What readers
are saying

Maxwell Wynter proves himself as a credible and wise man in his pocket-sized book “Planet in Our Hands.” The book is brief enough to read in one or two sittings but complete enough to take into consideration the long-term history of mankind’s evolution from upright mammals (if not always upright thinkers) through to our creation of AI and social media misinformation campaigns. This book is short, smart and surprisingly uplifting. I bought extra copies for my young-adult daughters and I highly recommend this book to anyone who struggles to find balance between alarm over the state of the world and optimism for solutions to our collective problems. Wynter downplays his own experiences as a physicist, scholar, newspaper CEO, early pioneer in computers and entrepreneur and instead lets the story tell itself. I say, lead on, Mr. Wynter.
