Drawing its references from sources as diverse as the events at Abu Ghraib and the writings of Edgar Allen Poe, Unsuspecting Souls tells the troubling but impeccably researched and compellingly written story of contemporary society. Beginning with the Industrial Revolution, where care for human beings slowly began to disappear, and finishing with the modern era, where societal events require less person-to-person interaction than ever before, Pulitzer Prize-nominated writer Barry Sanders gives a scathing political indictment of the loss of humanity in today's world.
