From the introduction of the PDF

Welcome to the second edition of A Book of Questions! Inside you’ll find 99 opportunities to reason, imagine, decide and talk about interesting things.

The content is grounded in civics – the rights, responsibilities and challenges that come with living in a society. But this isn’t a teaching book. It’s a thinking book, filled with creative scenarios, ancient stories, and fascinating questions.

Overall, these pages are designed to:

> Build critical thinking skills and practice the kind of thinking that can help you make better judgments and decisions about your own life, your community and the world around you.

> Take you on a thinking adventure. From ancient fables, to timeless philosophical ideas, to propaganda – the content ranges widely.

> Encourage deeper thinking about issues of the day. This second edition includes more on AI and social media, opening up conversations about how these powerful technologies can affect individuals, communities and society.

Keep in mind, you can use these pages in whatever way works for you. That could mean thinking about the questions on your own, discussing them with a class or group, or using them to spark conversations among friends and family.

Before starting, a few tips worth knowing:

> Choose the questions that interest you – you don’t need to answer them all. The first on the page is usually the main question, while the last often takes a more reflective look at the topic.

> Some of the later scenarios are longer and more challenging. You’ll also find endnotes with more information about some of the people and quotations that appear throughout the book.

> You can follow your own line of questioning when something sparks your curiosity – or investigate a topic further in books or online.

> Don’t look for the “right” answers. The questions are open-ended, and reasonable people may reach very different conclusions. The idea is to think and to think about what you think – whatever that may be.

That’s it. That’s all you need to know. Now it’s time to think hard and have fun.
