サマリー
あらすじ・解説
The Age of Abandonment refers to the growing phenomenon of people leaving traditional institutions, relationships, and even physical locations in search of new opportunities, meaning, or survival. This trend is visible in various aspects of society, from declining participation in organized religion and marriage to mass migrations from rural areas to cities—or from entire nations due to economic hardship, climate change, or political instability. The rise of remote work and digital communities has further disconnected people from physical spaces, leading to the decline of once-thriving towns and industries. Social alienation, economic disparity, and distrust in governments and corporations fuel this exodus, as people seek alternatives that align with their values and needs. While this shift presents challenges, such as weakening social cohesion and economic uncertainty, it also offers opportunities for reinvention. The future may see decentralized systems of governance, new models of community-building, and a redefinition of belonging, as individuals and societies navigate this age of transformation and uncertainty.
