Noam Chomsky is not only one of the most restless minds of our time, a rare personality who has dedicated much of his life to stand by the weak and the oppressed by all forms of power, but he is also one of the most distinguished linguists, with a tremendous contribution to the science of linguistics.

In this book, Chomsky converses with his equally prominent linguist friend Andrea Moro about a wide range of topics related to language, the history of science, the relationship between language and the brain, and more.

How do children acquire the language they speak? What secrets do words reveal on their own? What insights about the brain does the study of language and its unexpected properties offer? And why is the euphoria overflowing from Silicon Valley due to the continuous achievements in the field of artificial intelligence superficial and misleading?

A book that sheds light on the scientific thinking of a person who has had and continues to have a tremendous impact on active and thoughtful citizens around the world.
