Liya Yu develops a novel political framework that builds on neuroscientific discoveries to rethink the social contract. She advances a new neuropolitical language of persuasion that refrains from moralizing or shaming and instead appeals to shared neurobiological vulnerabilities. Established systems are rarely well challenged by big ideas in the way Liya Yu does in this book. She takes on central concepts that ground our legal and political systems, hold them up to the light of neuroscience and psychology data, and discusses the implications for moving society forward in the modern world. It is a wonderful example of interdisciplinary scholarship from brain to society, and prudent given humanity's current crises.
