On the Edge of the Map
THE FRAGILITY OF NOW
Global systemic fragility is no longer a distant theoretical concern, it is the reality of our interconnected world. In On the Edge of the Map, we explore the critical vulnerabilities embedded within modern infrastructure, economies, governance systems, and social structures. As global complexity accelerates, so too does the importance of understanding the risks that emerge at the intersections of these systems. This book outlines how meaningful crisis preparedness is not about reacting once we reach the edge of the map, but about understanding the terrain ahead.
