Before Covid-19, humanity was heading towards two doors. Behind one door stood the opportunity to create the closest thing to utopia that has ever existed. Behind the other was a path paved with the threat of growing inequality, eroding privacy, authoritarianism, conflict, and then, at the end, stood dystopia. The great pandemic of 2020 has brought both these doors
much closer. Technology is mutating and nothing in our evolution has prepared us for the changes that are set to follow. It is accelerating at an accelerating rate (in other words, it is experiencing a jerk). This is not some distant future we are predicting. The change has begun and already we are seeing political division, extremism, and social unrest. Strap yourself in because the current political and economic turmoil is nothing compared to what the next two decades will bring.
