How important is luck in economic success? No question more reliably divides conservatives from liberals. As conservatives correctly observe, people who amass great fortunes are almost always talented and hardworking. But liberals are also correct to note that countless others have those same qualities yet never earn much. In recent years, social scientists have discovered that chance plays a much larger role in important life outcomes than most people imagine.

Der Siegeszug unserer entfesselten Technologien destabilisiert den gesamten Planeten und eröffnet ein neues Zeitalter: das New Dark Age. Eine seiner erschreckendsten Signaturen ist der Klimawandel, den James Bridle in diesem Kapitel seines aufsehenerregenden Buches beschreibt. Während neue Technologien immer schneller und immer massiver bis in die letzten Winkel unseres Lebens vordringen, sind wir immer weniger dazu in der Lage, sie unseren Erfordernissen anzupassen. Sie sind längst zu einer Bedrohung für humane Lebensformen geworden.

Have you ever wondered why we’re here? Has each of us been created just so some of us can “get saved” and float on a cloud in our retirement home in the sky after we die, or is there some purpose that we are to be about right here and right now?

In the design of this book, three primary themes interlace and pursue and develop each other. There is first, that invention and science have completely altered the material environment of human life. Next, that the disruptive driving force of an excess of bored and unemployed young men, which must in some manner find relief, will probably shatter human life altogether under the new conditions. And thirdly, that the existing mental organization of our species is entirely insufficient to control the present situation, which nevertheless might, with an adequate effort, be controlled.
