Why does evil seem so frightening yet intriguing to people? For example, why are we curious about the lives and actions of serial killers? Or why do we highlight violence so much in movies and TV series, and sometimes even glorify it, when we think of nothing but protecting ourselves when we encounter it in real life? Why is Hitler still one of the most popular historical figures, despite being one of the worst people ever? What if you could go back in time, would you kill baby Hitler?

Humans are creatures that are not just black or white, but contain all shades of grey. Just as we cannot feel a single emotion throughout our entire lives, we cannot only be "good" or "bad". For example, we could find thousands of "good" people who would want to kill baby Hitler for the greater good. This is where our curiosity about evil comes from, the desire to make sense of our actions. Starting from this point in Evil, Julia Shaw examines the dark side of humanity that is afraid to voice it out loud. From mental illness and sexual perversion to rape "culture", from the dilemma of artificial intelligence and technology to terrorism, it deals with evil in all its moral and ethical aspects. Evil is a book that is as striking as it is enlightening.
