We are on the cusp of a sweeping revolution--one that will change every
facet of our lives. The changes ahead will challenge and alter
fundamental concepts such as national identity, human rights, money, and
markets. In this pivotal, complicated moment, what are the great
questions we need to ask to navigate our way forward?
David Rothkopf believes in the power of questions. When sweeping changes
have occurred in history--the religious awakenings of the Reformation;
the scientific advances of the Age of Exploration; the technological
developments of the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and the Industrial
Revolution--they have brought with them, not just new knowledge, but
provoked great questions about how we must live.
With the world at the threshold of profound change, Rothkopf seeks the
important questions of our time--ones that will remake the world and our
understanding of it. From the foundational questions: "Why do we live
within a society?" and "What is war?" to modern concerns such as "Is
access to the internet a basic human right?" The Great Questions of
Tomorrow confronts our approach to the future and forces us to
reimagine fundamental aspects of our lives--identity, economics,
technology, government, war, and peace.
