This book is about the social body in which we are the unwitting

cells.  It is about the hidden ways in which that social group manipulates

our psychology, and even our biology.  It is about how a social organism

scrambles for survival--and works for mastery over other organisms of

its kind.  It is about how we, without the slightest sense of what the long

term results may be of our minuscule actions, contribute to the social

organism's ponderous and sometimes earth-shattering deeds.  It is about

how in our preoccupations with sex, our submission to gods and

leaders, our sometimes suicidal commitment to ideas, religions and

trivial details of cultural style, we become the unconscious creators of

the social organism's exploits.
