The revised edition is completely updated, and features over 100 new questions that reflect the current culture shifts of the past 25 years. (Question No. 23: How would you react if you learned that a sad and beautiful poem that touched you deeply had been written by a computer? Question No. 129: Would you feel more handicapped by losing the use of all motorised vehicles, all telecommunications devices and computers, or your nondominant hand? If you had to give one up, which would you pick? Question No. 256: You discover that, because of a mix up at the hospital, your wonderful two-year-old is not actually yours. Would you want to switch kids to try to correct the mistake? What if you'd never hear anything more about the child you gave up?).
