"The Hero" is an interesting non-fiction book by Lee Child that explores the evolutionary role of storytelling in history. The author provides an honest assessment of the hero archetype in his own books and discusses how these stories came to be.

Child's examination of heroes from Achilles to Bond is thought-provoking. He argues that hero stories are a fundamental part of what makes us human and continue to shape our world. Which is why we will always continue to read and tell stories.
