Entering the Monadic Age
<p>The world is marked by deepening conflicts—between democracies and autocracies, woke and populist identity politics, rich and poor, continued environmental exploitation and harsh complications like climate change. In this excerpt from his new book, <em>The Monadic Age</em> (Sternberg Press, 2024), Ingo Niermann argues that, stirred by rapid developments in automation and AI, these manifold crises are about to culminate in a new paradigm of self-sufficiency—monadism— that overturns the liberal era and forces a reinvention of all social parameters.</p>
