Civilization is a Ponzi scheme... that we cannot stop, even as we face increasingly scarce resources, environmental degradation, market bubbles, and an Artificial Intelligence that grows energy-hungrier every day. The complex history of the Middle East shows how we got here, and how we can turn those challenges into opportunities. We are helped by those energy-hungry thinking machines, by combining their data crunching power our human intuition and ability to think outside the box. George J. Nasr shows how this team-up can help us turn challenges into opportunity, by can drawing on the turbulent past of the Middle East and its future hopes. We can transcend scarcity-driven ""Black Wars"" for resources like oil and water, and toward a technology-led ""Blue Peace"" of shared growth and continued expansion and even conquer the stars
George J. Nasr is an engineer, academic, and systems analyst specializing in sustainable development and the intersection of emerging technologies, resource management, and global policy. He’s also the graphics artist who illustrated this book
