Are We Witnessing the Death Throes of Civilization—or the Dawn of a Unified Globe?
One World? forecasts how a Global Consciousness is emerging from the crucible of the Digital Revolution. Grounded in scientific theory and compelling evidence, civilization is seen as a superorganism evolving through its own life cycle, now unfolding toward an interconnected world.
Professor Halal’s scientific model of social evolution shows how civilization is being driven beyond knowledge into an Age of Consciousness. The Noosphere foretold by Teilhard de Chardin is here, and it is transforming our lives, social institutions, and our very minds and souls. A great drama is underway as existential crises threaten civilization—while the Digital Revolution unleashes the powers of knowledge, intelligence, and consciousness itself. Halal accurately forecast the Knowledge Age decades ago, and he now estimates a 65% probability of Global Consciousness emerging about 2033 +/- 5 years. Not a utopian dream, but the most logical next step in social evolution.
More than a prediction, the book outlines the entire technology revolution, a union of science and spirit, the synthesis of democracy and enterprise, and transformations in business, government, education, religion, and daily life. One World? challenges the prevailing sense of doom with a plausible vision for a world that works… and it is happening now.
