Beschreibung
This book is an exploration of how humanity’s relationship with energy, environment, and technology has shaped the long arc of civilization, and how this trajectory will determine our future in an age of climate instability and intelligent machines. The subject of the work spans early human evolution, agricultural and industrial transitions, global development patterns, planetary boundaries, and the accelerating rise of AI-driven societies. It weaves together insights from sustainability science, anthropology, energy studies, technological forecasting, and global governance to present a unified, systems-based narrative of humanity’s past and future.
The book employs comparative historical analysis, systems thinking, conceptual modeling, and scenario-based exploration to make complex civilizational transitions accessible to a wide readership. Topics of particular interest include the evolution of human energy regimes, the emergence of modern growth systems, climate tipping points, the ethics of AI, and the author’s original Sustainability Singularity Theory (SST), a new conceptual framework explaining how environmental constraints and intelligent technologies may trigger a civilizational transformation.
The book empowers readers—scholars, policymakers, professionals, and the general public—to think critically about humanity’s next century and to envision viable strategies for navigating ecological and technological change.
