  "Progress is not just electronics and robots; it’s also adaptation and correction of social structures in light of these technological advances," Shvalb asserts, warning that "the old democracy won't survive if we don’t adjust it to the new era." 
  After reviewing the social phenomena leading societies to dangerous places, he points out, "History teaches us that civilizations tend to fade, and when they do, it can happen very suddenly." He then explores the influence of social networks on public discourse, noting that "fake news spreads six times faster than truthful news." As a scientist in the field of hard sciences, he examines the dangers of advancing technology, particularly the role of AI in societal unrest. Shvalb questions, "Can technological mega-giants know us intimately enough to control our choices?" 
  Life as we knew it no longer exists. The benefits technology has given us come with a heavy price. In a world where social interactions are shaped by powerful platforms guiding the way we think, behave, buy, and choose, there is a real risk to our societies that we must consider. The last part of the book is dedicated to practical solutions and suggestions. Yet, despite its serious themes, "Our Western Spring: Where is Political Divide Leading Us?" is engaging and fun to read. If you're curious about who suffered from scrotal ascites, what is considered the worst film of all time, or why China's government hates Winnie-the-Pooh, this book is for you. This blend of intriguing trivia and insightful analysis makes the book both thought-provoking and enjoyable, offering readers a captivating journey through the complexities of modern society.

  What makes the human mind so unique? And how did we get this way? 
   
   
   
  This fascinating tale explores the three leaps in our history that made us what we are—and will change how you think about our future. 
   
   
   
  Look around. Clearly, we humans are radically different from the other creatures on this planet. But why? Where are the Bronze Age beavers? The Iron Age iguanas? In Stories, Dice, and Rocks That Think, Byron Reese argues that we owe our special status to our ability to imagine the future and recall the past, escaping the perpetual present that all other living creatures are trapped in. 
   
    
    
  Envisioning human history as the development of a societal superorganism he names Agora, Reese shows us how this escape enabled us to share knowledge on an unprecedented scale, and predict—and eventually master—the future. 
   
   
    
  Thoughtful and witty, this must-listen book unravels our history as an intelligent species in three acts. A fresh new look at the history and destiny of humanity, listeners will come away from Stories, Dice, and Rocks That Think with a new understanding of what they are—not just another animal, but a creature with a mastery of time itself.
