Publisher's Synopsis
The shape of things to come: Book the fifth: The modern state in control of life explores the vision of a world where a unified global state exercises control over all aspects of life, reshaping society to fit a new order. The book examines the process of world-building from a Monday morning perspective, as the planet is keyed up for an era of geogonic planning, where human behavior and societal structures are reorganized to ensure stability and productivity. The modern state's influence extends into every facet of existence, from the control of individual behavior to the provision of abundance through the organization of plenty. As humanity matures, there is a shift towards intellectual and emotional growth, with language and mental development becoming central to the evolution of society. The text reflects on the sublimation of personal interests in favor of the collective good and marks a new phase in the history of life where the average man becomes wiser, guided by the larger system in place. The book imagines a future where a carefully managed society redefines the meaning of progress.
