This book is towering in its scope and will challenge many people’s thinking.
The human race stands at the pinnacle of its existence. Or does it? A philosopher in ancient Greece some 500 years BC thought they were at the pinnacle of existence. Could he have been right? What have we learnt since then? What can the villains and heroes of history teach us?
Alpha sets out to examine this and the other big issues the world faces today and in the future and what we can do about them. Perhaps you will come to a different conclusion than Alpha, or perhaps you will agree on the need for urgent action.
Alpha involves the story of a child prodigy and his search to discover what we can learn from mankind’s struggles, failures and triumphs throughout history. While the central character Alpha, is fictional, his research and its implications for the future of the world are factual. The book examines how the world and its people arrived at where we are today and ultimately what we need to do to have a sustainable future.
