[About the Book]
—How should we live in the coming era?—
“The aim of this book is to spark a vigorous national debate on the creation of a new civilization by presenting contemporary issues and possible solutions—particularly to the younger generation—from the standpoint of wishing for the growth and development of civil society in Japan.”
—From the text
The author, a former Japanese diplomat who served as Ambassador to Switzerland, has long referred to himself as a “representative of future generations.” In this work, he addresses pressing challenges faced by modern society—such as environmental degradation, economic supremacism, and the crisis of civilization—and explores how we should confront these problems and guide them toward resolution.
A must-read for the younger generation who will inherit the future, this book serves as a vital compass for thinking about how to navigate the age ahead.

[Editor’s Comment]
Although this book was written around 25 years ago, today’s global situation reveals just how accurately the author foresaw the near future. Drawing from his deep insights as a diplomat, the author offers a thoughtful reflection on what lies ahead, making this work not only a check on his earlier predictions but also an opportunity to reexamine the social issues we continue to face. It is a book that deserves to be read by many.
