Our world has transformed over recent decades with concerning trends that threaten to destabilize nation states, abolish society and culture, establish digital control over individuals, erase identity, and diminish what makes us human.

The copious footnotes and bibliography constitute a significant portion of the text, providing sources for further investigation. Overall, this book aims to furnish keys to analysing today's interwoven crises, serving as a guidebook for comprehending the contemporary age holistically. It empowers readers to conduct their own inquiries into this crucial juncture that will shape the future. Sure to intrigue even those less versed in the subject matter.
