Tom Phillips introduced his book with an introduction, including the following: "... I wrote this book to tell about humans and their incredible ability to ruin everything, about every moment we filled with pride for being human, in front of an unmatched piece of art or a scientific achievement that surpasses us, while regret and despair fill our hearts because of all those wars and pollution that are unparalleled."
