This book is divided into two parts. The first text, or chapter, may appeal to those who hope for a happier or more optimistic outcome for today's, and tomorrow's, humanity and the physical ecology, or “world,” of which humanity is an integral part.
“EXIT 13 or China and the World in 2030 and how we got there” recounts a utopian world where diversity of all sorts and the doctrines of the Great Establishing of Limits (GEL) and of “Slo-nomics” have become the strategies by which disaster has been avoided and a new human culture has been established.
The second text “China's Spectacular-oneiric Society” is a more sober and analytical reflection on what has led us to where we are and the consciousness and measures necessary to save ourselves and the rest of the planet from imminent and irreversible catastrophe.
Both texts start from the premise that the World without China is not the World, and that China without the World can no longer be China.
