Noam Chomsky is not just one of the most restless minds of our time, a rare personality who has devoted much of his life to standing by the weak and oppressed from 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 distinguished linguist friend Andrea Moro about a wide range of topics concerning 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 provide?
• Why is the euphoria overflowing from Silicon Valley due to successive achievements in the field of artificial intelligence superficial and misleading?

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