| Summary: | Human history is a history of powerful civilizations which collapsed for various reasons, but behind all of those reasons there was the inability of each civilization to adapt to changes that were introduced by the human race itself or by the external environment. Judging from history we can expect that our civilization might collapse as well. This book takes a look at the huge changes brought by new technology that was introduced by humans over the past few decades and might have the power to destroy the modern civilization. It analyses social disadvantages of the new technology and attempts to answer the question of what has to be done to enable society to adapt to the new technology, embrace it and use it for the collective good. It also explains how to recognize fake news, why Orson Welles was a fake news visionary and why Monica Lewinsky was one of the first victims of the modern new technology. |
