This book explores the ancient question of why man seeks to go beyond his limits. The author considers whether redemption for humanity might lie in our hubristic tendencies (a presumptuous tendency known by the ancient Greeks as hubris) - in our capacity to deviate from the existing path and find new ways forward.
