The Great Wave: The Era of Radical Disruption and the Rise of the Outsider

內容簡介

內容簡介 借力大浪潮推進穩定未來，評論家角谷再出擊前紐約時報書評家角谷美智子，從科技、文化與政治的變革浪潮中，給世人乘風破浪航向未來的深刻建言。普立茲獲獎評論家角谷美智子繼《大說謊家時代》又一力作。全球動盪，有人播下混亂種子(如川普)，有人展現振奮人心的領導力(如澤倫斯基)，在不安時刻尋找契機。角谷洞察當代文化趨勢，闡述新權力不對稱後果，借鏡歷史上關鍵時刻以發現前進道路。她認為，我們除了向浪潮、向紛至沓來的混亂屈服之外，或可善用波濤動力推進更穩定和永續的未來。An urgent examination of the great wave of change breaking over today’s world – from the Pulitzer Prize-winning critic and New York Times bestselling author of The Death of Truth‘A profoundly inspiring and prophetic perspective on the contemporary world’ Ai WeiweiIn the twenty-first century, a wave of political, cultural and technological change has capsized our old certainties and assumptions, creating both opportunity and danger.As people lose their faith in old institutions and elites, radical voices at the margins and the grassroots are disrupting the status quo. This is the time of the outsider – the protester, the populist, the hacker. Some of these outsiders have sown chaos, like Donald Trump, and others have provided inspirational leadership, like Volodymyr Zelensky. But all have grasped this precarious moment to make something new.Writing with a critic’s incisive understanding of cultural trends, Michiko Kakutani outlines the consequences of these new asymmetries of power, and looks back to similar hinge moments in history, from the waning of the Middle Ages to the aftermath of the Second World War, to find a way forward.For there is, Kakutani argues, always the promise of transformation in times of turmoil. We can surrender to the waters, give in to the gathering chaos, or we can use the wave’s momentum to propel us into a more stable and sustainable future.
