The main theme of this book is quite simple and clear: our ability to understand and shape the world around us has gradually made us the masters of this planet. Even though today we have placed a huge burden on the earth, just as we have overcome challenges and weathered difficulties, our technological capabilities still make us confident enough; however, on the other hand, our political performance is much inferior, always swaying like a drunkard. Therefore, this book is not only a joyful ode to the intelligence of our modern Homo sapiens, but also an apocalypse of our modern Homo sapiens' political follies. Only by recognizing this antinomy of the human condition can we be alert to the failures caused by success and reorient our immediate direction. The book not only examines those failed and disappearing civilizations, but also tells the origins of today's powers, and reveals how similar many historical events that happened in different historical periods and different geographical locations are!
