Since the end of the Cold War, the world has been shaken to its core three times. 11 September 2001, the financial collapse of 2008 and - most of all - Covid-19. Each was an asymmetric threat, different from anything the world had experienced before. Zakaria foresees the nature of a post-pandemic world: the political, social, technological and economic consequences that may take years to unfold.
This urgent and timely book will become an enduring reflection on life in the early twenty-first century.
