Question: before we let you go. who is this book for?
Answer: it's for your kids and my kids and the young people that i met, not just in this country but around the world, because part of the theme of the book is this contest of ideas. the way i describe it, these two visions: a vision that says that for all our differences, there is a common humanity and it is possible for us in a multiracial, multiethnic, highly diverse country and world, it is possible for us to see each other, understand each other and respect each other and work together. and then there's a contrasting idea that says we are a collection of tribes and we are inevitably at war and it's a zero-sum game, and that there are winners and losers and there's hierarchies of power and domination and subjugation. and it's not just in america, but it's around the world where those contrasting visions are duking it out. and the truth is is that the vision of power and domination and subjugation, that's been the dominant. that's been the default of human societies for most of human history. this new way of doing things with democracy and individual rights and treating everybody as if they have worth and that have a voice in our government. that's new. it's an experiment that everybody's still watching. and so this book is for the generation that's coming up, these young people. i want them to understand that, in fact, they are going to be the ones who make the decision as to which way not only america goes, but the world goes, and that it is within their power to create a better world. and government is not something distant that happens to them, but it is something that they have a claim on and agency for and can shape and that's part of the reason why the arc of this volume starts with me as a young person and showing them that it's not like i was born inevitably to be president or that i was particularly good at all the aspects of public life, it was just that i hitched my wagon to something bigger and that i wasn't any different than them, and that if i can have an impact, they can, too.
