THE TRANSFORMATION CRISIS originated as a proposal for a non-fiction book about the evolution of civilizations throughout the universe, all of whom cannot avoid the crisis which arrives with nuclear power and/or nuclear weapons, transendance of natural evolution, and so forth, Either a civilization destroys itself or becomes capable of surviving for millions of years. Became the text of a speech to futurology conference.
Humanity entered this Transformation Crisis with Hiroshima, and we are still in it, and the outcome is very much in down. The futurological speculative basis for RIDING THE TORCH, GREENHOUSE SUMMER, HE WALKED AMONG US, DEUS X, SONGS FROM THE STARS, etc.
THE TRANSFORMATION CRISIS Norman Spinrad
This is the kind of essay with ideas one may imagine in some way, but which often doesn't get put into writing. In the spirit of Carl Sagan's "Cosmos," the author Norman Spinrad summarizes cosmic, molecular, and biological evolution. Then he reaches a qualitatively different challenge: cultural evolution. Will civilization develop in a way that sustains itself over thousands of years into the future? Just as the Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg offers his ideas on US-Russian cooperation in LAKE VIEWS, Spinrad describes this step as one of several hurdles. Also, a global energy system that is compatible with the biosphere is another element of society in need of transformation. If you read this essay some of your own thought may be transformed and broadened. It may even prompt you to read Prof. Martin J. Rees's closely related book, "Our Final Century: The 50/50 Threat to Humanity's Survival." For a tour-de-force of our history and prospects, for an essay where each paragraph can leads to hours of debate, THE TRANSFORMATION CRISIS is a hit.Product details
