This book tells the story of human civilisation as a series of
historical periods, from Prehistory to the present day, describing
the way each evolved into the next. In so doing, it explains the
reasons behind what happened in each period, in terms of their
contribution to the whole. It describes the way the ideas process
evolves along with society, and explains the myths, religions and
philosophical ideas which developed in the Ancient world, and the
way its great empires appeared. Then, according to new technology
and principles, how the events of the Middle Ages led to the
rediscovery of the Americas and took us into the Modern periods,
where the industrial revolution gave rise to the Middle Classes,
and a new type of politics featured more representative forms of
government. However, after two world wars which redefined the era,
Postmodernity emerged as a term for the structure of Cold War
society, which gave rise to the success of digital technology, but
also led to the new problem of terrorism. Hence, many questions
have arisen over the direction of human society, how it has evolved
out of history, and how we address its issues. What type of
problems can we solve at each stage? Perhaps with computers we are
now able to analyse data in a way which was not possible before and
this will lead to the next era.
