In the course of trying to get an "I love you" from his son, a father stumbles upon a theory of world peace: what if we were always ready to say sorry, when the words might heal, and make us realize our common humanity? What if our egos were not so dependent on our being right, but more so on being wrong—which proved our humanity beyond doubt (because robots can, theoretically, be right 100% of the time, or until their batteries run out. Amen.)
Imagine this conversation between Biden and Putin.
"I was wrong," says Biden.
"No, we were wronger!" says Putin.
"Okay, you win. You were wronger, indeed. But we nearly beat you in the wrongness department. A big sorry for that."
"A bigger sorry from us, because we were wronger."
"We give up. You get the trophy for the Biggest Sorry, and a Nobel Prize for Peace. Congratulations, Mr. Putin!"
Ultimate Victor: Mankind, millions of victims of war.
"My father is my living god," says a character in the book, and a chapter explores the meaning of this statement.
