How will they look in hindsight, these strange times we are living through? Is this a midlife crisis on humanity's road to the Star Trek future – or the point at which that story of the future unravelled and we came to see how much it had left out? What if our current crises are neither an obstacle to be overcome, nor the end of the world, but a necessary humbling?

These are the kind of questions which we set out to explore in The Great Humbling. We hope you'll join us and let us know what you think.

Ed Gillespie & Dougald Hine
