Why do some societies crumble under pressure while others rise stronger?

What can the past teach us about surviving the shocks of the future?

And how can humanity adapt in the age of AI?

From the fall of empires to the dawn of algorithms, "Bend or Break" reveals the hidden patterns that determine whether societies endure or collapse. Boyson Sante takes readers across centuries of upheaval—wars, migrations, pandemics, financial crashes—to uncover the forces that shape resilience. At the heart of the book lies the Adaptation Equation, a framework showing how accountable institutions, trustworthy information, and shared progress make the difference between renewal and ruin.
