Robert E Wright, a celebrated American author and journalist was born in the year 1957 in the city of Lawton, situated in the state of Oklahoma. He was born in the family of a Southern Baptist. Later he moved to San Francisco where he spent his childhood days. He often used to call himself an ‘Army brat’. In the seventies, Wright initially got admitted in the Texas Christian University, where he studied for almost a year. Then, in order to study Evolutionary Psychology, which was previously called Sociobiology, he moved to Princeton University. The first book that Wright wrote was strongly inspired by John McPhee’s style, who was a distinguished author.

In the beginning of the year 2000, Robert E Wrightstarted to teach at the University of Pennsylvania and also at the Princeton University. He used to teach a course for the undergraduates known as “The Evolution of Religion” as well as a seminar for graduates, known as “Religion & Human Nature.” During his days at Princeton, he used to teach, along with Peter Singer, a seminar for the graduates, on the subject of moral intuition having a biological base. According to Wright, in this day and age the types of adversity that the humans face are ethical in nature. He thinks that salvation for human beings lies in the quick detection of self-interest. He has written a well-known book called Nonzero, where he has claimed that human life is determined by a non-zero-sum liveliness. Despite the fact that a game of zero-sum is governed by a loser and a winner, each and every party in the game of non-zero-sum loses or wins collectively. As a result, players are expected to continue to exist only if they work as a team. This idea points towards a positive future of absolute teamwork among humans, which is possible if only they are aware of the game.
