“I know you can’t change the world, but I believe we have a responsibility to keep trying, now more than ever, in this interconnected world of rising populism and misinformation. That’s not why I wrote my book or my articles, but I hope that by changing some minds, opening some eyes, and teaching some lessons, we might create a better world… one pebble at a time.”
