I wrote this book out of my great annoyance with fear “colonizing” our lives. In fact, books written out of rage tend to be polemical, and this book will be no exception anyway. But we can consider it an attack on the practical approach to all phenomena associated with fear. The culture of fear is paradoxical, having emerged at a time when we are historically safer than ever before. Perhaps my most important argument against the culture of fear is the fact that it undermines our freedom.
