We built a world bound together by invisible threads of code, data, and connection—but how strong are they really? In The Next Collapse, David Hooper investigates the hidden vulnerabilities of our hyper-connected society, where a single failure can ripple globally in seconds.
From cyberattacks that could paralyze critical infrastructure to AI-driven disinformation eroding trust, Hooper reveals the fragile foundations beneath our dependence on technology. He examines how climate pressures, energy demands, and geopolitical rivalries amplify these risks—and why resilience has become the most vital resource of the 21st century.
Urgent, clear-eyed, and unsettling, The Next Collapse asks a haunting question: in a world where everything is linked, what happens when the links begin to break?
