It’s said that the Doomsday Clock has stood at just a few minutes to midnight’ for a long time, philosophers and pundits alike noting that, if anything, the midnight hour and tipping point to oblivion is closer than ever before. For a long time, the idea of nuclear Armageddon...

Michael Connelly often has his finger on the pulse of interesting issues, but reading a preview copy of The Proving Ground in a week where the dangers of AI, debate on incel postings, the aftermath of the killing of Charlie Kirk, school-shootings and the power of big money all...
