Synopsis

Beyond Knowledge Exists the Triumph of Human Spirit.
An Amazon #1 Bestseller

"A Gem; Highly Original Exploration of the Next Stage in Human Evolution"
—Hazel Henderson, Global Futurist

Worried by autocrats and post-factual nonsense? The out-of-control power of social media? Climate doom and other global threats? As humanity tips into uncharted territory, a post-factual world that defies rationality and knowledge, is it possible to sense what comes next?

A former aerospace engineer on Apollo, professor at George Washington University and founder of TechCast, William Halal's latest book draws on historic data to show the Knowledge Age is passing as smartphones, social media, and artificial intelligence automate knowledge. Knowledge is still crucial, but the digital revolution is driving the world beyond knowledge into a new frontier governed by emotions, values, beliefs and higher-order thought. An Age of Consciousness is here, though it's dominated by conflict, disinformation, gridlock and other threats that pose an existential crisis.

"A must-have strategic resource... if you're wondering where we're headed - this is the perfect guide."
- Art Murray, CEO, Applied Knowledge Sciences

This book provides a wealth of evidence showing how a "global consciousness" is emerging to help humanity grow up, transform social institutions to meet this historic challenge, and develop a sustainable civilization - or face disaster. With foresight, hard work, and some luck, we could see the triumph of human spirit, once again.

Will these ideas bear out? Can the world envision a global consciousness? Would this resolve today's global crises? What will it take to get there?
