ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book is to develop and present key parts of such a model, however rudimentary and provisional. It aims at future-bending actors, individual and collective, as well as the becoming global demos as a whole, trying to help them to respond adequately to the increasingly fateful challenges facing the human species. The book deals with novel challenges which are critical for the human species, but are inherently intractable and therefore require heretical responses. It is somewhat daring effort to cope with such problems, and, at least, stimulate and also provoke others to do so better. The book is predicated, as far as humanly possible, a long-term achievement of the human species and its global civilization as evolving over time.
