Age of Me

At the beginning of the 21st century, the world is drifting towards a third world war, discord in societies is at an all-time high, and climate change is making everybody wonder about the future of mankind. Some say the Western world is at the final stretch of a 100-year economic cycle that will inevitably lead to the collapse of democratic societies. How did we get here, and are we there yet? Are we living during a historical turning point for humankind and our hard-earned evolution and freedoms?

The Age of Me aims to answer these questions by taking the viewpoint of a future generation looking back at our time, 100 years from now. This collection of essays takes a deep dive into the culture, religion, politics, economics, technology, and art to define the essence of our time. It uncovers the unconscious motives that drive modern man and reveals the historical roots that have led to the current state of our Western world. In this process, the book also outlines a path towards a more positive and prosperous future for all of us.
