Draw the Ground as a Prison

About This Novel
When Lessing looked back at the 20th century and her own life, she saw a series of large-scale mass events, a dance of emotions, and a flurry of fanatical partisan enthusiasm. The constant occurrence of these things prevents us from thinking rationally. In this book, Lessing addresses the major question we as humans currently face: How often do we fall under the sway of our savage instincts? How can advances in psychology and technology be used by experts to turn them into tricks on us? How did we become prisoners of group consciousness, repeating the history of party unity and opposition? By sharing her life experience, political life, ideological process, and keen observation of society, combined with the latest psychological experiments and interesting historical anecdotes, Lessing drew a portrait of this divided era and also provided us with a new possibility of examining the world and ourselves.
