An ancient Chinese curse says: “May you live in interesting times!” I don’t think anyone would dispute the obvious: we truly live in interesting times, the most interesting in the entire history of mankind. As to whether it is cursed or blessed, many are not particularly clear. Personally, I am inclined to think that our time is neither cursed nor blessed: there are no particularly dark clouds above us, just as there are no shining skies. What the world will be like for us and for future generations largely depends on ourselves.The text of the book was translated from the original language using an artificial intelligence program.
