John Gray is the bestselling author of such books asStraw DogsandAl Qaeda and What it Means to be Modernwhichbrought a mainstream readership to a man who was already one of the UK''s most well respected thinkers and political theorists.

Gray wroteEnlightenment''s Wakein 1995 - six years after the fall of the Berlin Wall and six years before the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Turning his back on neoliberalism at exactly the moment that its advocates were in their pomp, trumpeting ''the end of history'' and the supposedly unstoppable spread of liberal values across the globe, Gray''s was a lone voice of scepticism. The thinking he criticised here would lead ultimately to the invasion of Iraq. Today, its folly might seem obvious to all, but as this edition ofEnlightenment''s Wakeshows, John Gray has been trying to warn us for some fifteen years - the rest of us are only now catching up with him.
