At the dawn of the new atheist movement, the thinkers who became known as "the four horsemen," the heralds of religion's unravellingChristopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennettsat down over cocktails for a filmed conversation. What followed was this rigorous, pathbreaking, and enthralling conversation that was released on YouTube and soon went viral. This is intellectual inquiry at its sincere and probing, funny and unpredictable, reminding us just how varied and colorful the threads of modern atheism are.

Now, this landmark conversation is being published for the first time. The living participants, Dawkins, Harris, and Dennett, have all contributed new material to mark the evolution of their own thinking and highlight particularly resonant aspects of this epic exchange. Each of these men contends with the most fundamental questions of human existence as they challenge each other to articulate their own stance on god and religion, cultural criticism, spirituality without religion, debate with people of faith, and living an ethical life.

Questions they asked of each other included: Is it ever possible to win a war of ideas? Is spirituality the preserve of the religious? Are there any truths you would rather not know? Would you want to see the end of faith?
The dialogue was recorded, and is now transcribed and presented here with new introductions from the surviving three horsemen.
