Are our brains wired to hate? Does online hate incite violence on the streets? With hate crimes at an all-time high, what can we do to help turn the tide?

Advance Praise
'Fascinating. This is a key contribution to our understanding of the divides in our society, and how these can perhaps be repaired.'
DR PRAGYA AGARWAL, author of Sway
'Williams is masterful at making this complex topic accessible, so we can all better understand hate and the dark side of human behaviour and finally start to tackle it.'
NOVA REID
'This sometimes harrowing but very necessary book couldn't be more topical, but what gives it even greater impact is the fact that the author has himself been the victim of hate crime.'
