The Vertical Catastrophe of Humanity

About the Book / About the Author 

This book began with a simple observation: that something fundamental has changed in how reality is experienced, long before it became visible in politics, culture, or mental health.

Trained as an engineer and shaped by a lifetime of problem‑solving, the author approaches social change as a question of systems and perception rather than ideology. Over time, the logic of engineering — understanding structures, constraints, and unintended consequences — expanded beyond technical problems into broader questions of human behavior and social organization.

The book introduces a horizontal/vertical model of perception to describe a shift many people feel but rarely articulate: from a shared world that arrives from the sides to a vertical stream that faces us directly, captures attention, and recenters experience around the self.

This is not a technical book, nor a political one. It does not argue from expertise or authority, but from long‑term observation and structural reasoning. It does not offer quick solutions. It offers orientation.

The work is intended as an invitation rather than a conclusion — and as a starting point for deeper discussion about attention, education, responsibility, and the kind of world future generations will inherit.
