Chris Harman describes the shape and course of human history as a narrative of ordinary people forming and re-forming complex societies in pursuit of common human goals. Interacting with the forces of technological change as well as the impact of powerful individuals and revolutionary ideas, these societies have engendered events familiar to every schoolchild-from the empires of antiquity to the world wars of the 20th century.

La giovane hacker Lisbeth Salander è di nuovo immobilizzata in un letto d’ospedale, anche se questa volta non sono le cinghie di cuoio a trattenerla, ma una pallottola in testa.
