Lesen gefährdet die Dummheit

I feel a certain longing for books that cover absolutely everything. The best one I've read so far is from 1976: Mankind and Mother Earth by Arnold Toynbee. It's still so topical that it's almost frightening. The discrepancy between man's technological progress and his moral and political inadequacies has been with us since the beginning. The real question is whether it's about to become fatal.
