  ## Prologue
  
  
  
  
  
  Man is the dominant species of life on this planet, due to his superior
  intellect and dexterity… Man is, for the most part, a civilised, naturally
  gentle species, seeking to live and prosper in the company of his own kind…
  Because God loves mankind, He has given man the potential to evolve from his
  tree-dwelling, fruit-and-nut-gathering beginning to become master of this
  world, building an advanced technological society to match his intellectual
  and cultural capabilities… Man, or rather mankind, is rapidly approaching the
  Utopia that is his destiny.
  
  
  
  
  
  These are the things we all are told.
  
  
  
  
  
  None of this is true.
  
  
  
  
  
  No matter how intelligent, sophisticated, or civilised man may have reason to
  believe he is, within each of us there dwells a beast, a nightmare creature so
  bloodthirsty and depraved, so vile and terrifying, that our mind must, for
  sanity’s sake, find a way to deny its existence.
