I liked that this book combined an exciting fictional premise (first contact with aliens) with practical tips for negotiation strategy. The author is Deepak Malhotra, a professor whose focus is on negotiation, deal-making, and conflict resolution.
This was one of maybe two novels I read this year, as I’ve mainly been reading non-fiction related to political polarization and conflict resolution.
In my book, one thing I wrote was that I hoped that more writers and artists would see it as valuable to create depolarization-aimed works (novels, movies, TV shows). The Peacekeeper’s Code was inspiring to me, as it reminded me that one can create compelling and entertaining storylines that contain important educational concepts.
1 author picked The Peacemaker's Code as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.
