In this book, Sander Van der Leeuw examines how the modern world
has been caught in a socio-economic dynamic that has generated the
conundrum of sustainability. Combining the methods of social
science and complex systems science, he explores how western,
developed nations have globalized their world view and how that
view has led to the sustainability challenges we are now facing.
Its central theme is the co-evolution of cognition, demography,
social organization, technology and environmental impact. Beginning
with the earliest human societies, Van der Leeuw links the distant
past with the present in order to demonstrate how the information
and communications technology revolution is undermining many of the
institutional pillars on which contemporary societies have been
constructed. An original view of social evolution as the history of
human information-processing, his book shows how the past offers
insight into the present, and can help us deal with the future.
