For thousands of years, humanity thrived on Earth without relying on electronic devices. There were no smartphones, tablets, or gadgets managing our daily lives. We understood the rhythms of nature and maintained a harmonious existence. Today, however, we find ourselves in a manufactured reality that dictates every facet of our existence. Most people today lack the skills to hunt, gather, heal, construct shelters, or even communicate without digital means. Rapid technological advancements have undone millennia of human progress in just one generation. The challenges we are about to face are enormous. Criminals, terrorists, and governments are merely the beginning. We are on the brink of confronting the greatest threat ever, as we continue to cultivate the very force that could lead to our downfall. Welcome to what lies ahead.
