Synopsis
Imagine the ideal drinks party, with a sage in every corner, waiting to entertain you with their thoughts. The range of stimulating insights they have to offer is awesome. Four great witnesses of our times examine our preoccupations at the end of this millennium, cast back to the hopes and fears of previous generations and examine the challenges to come. Mixing the humorous with the profound, they tackle a vast range of fundamental questions which have long taxed the minds not only of the greatest thinkers, but most of the rest of us too!
