Description

Headed Into the Abyss: The Story of Our Time, and the Future We'll Face

Today, we face a range of unprecedented developments that threaten the very existence of civilization. Ten key forces - capitalism, technology, the internet, politics, media, education, human nature, the environment, population, and transportation - are driving society in predominantly negative ways. The combined operation and dynamics of these forces will carry us into a multitude of disasters before 2100.

Despite having the knowledge and solutions to address our difficulties, there is a lack of meaningful action. The internet and its algorithms are rapidly changing our world, including our capacity to recognize the profound and dangerous nature of this change. This book provides a clear and direct analysis of how each force is shaping society, and tells the big-picture story of what those effects add up to.
