How to understand the deviance that lies in ourselves and others - an original and rigorous exploration of the darkest recesses of the human mind, from the creator and co-host of the Bad People podcast

---

Are you evil?

In Making Evil, Julia Shaw uses a mix of science, popular culture and real-life examples to investigate the darker side of human nature. How similar is your brain to a psychopath's? How many people have murder fantasies? Can AI be evil? Do your sexual proclivities make you a bad person? Who becomes a terrorist? This is a surprising and wickedly entertaining exploration of a darkly compelling subject.
