Throughout the book we are led to consider the development of language, reason, self-preservation, benevolence, pity, and law - all through the lens of perhaps the most original thinker of the 18th century.

My name is Sydney Lucas. And I am determined to make my own way in the world. Which is why I jumped at the chance to intern for Mr. Nick Brooks despite his reputation. I've been on the job one week, and he's insulted my mother, wardrobe shamed me, and managed to make me cry. But I'm not going to quit. For once in my life, I've got to make a stand.
