Anthropologist Hu Jiaqi explores profound societal challenges, indicating relevance amid rising technologies.
This book, by Mr. Hu Jiaqi, founder of Humanitas Ark and renowned anthropologist, is a selected edition based on his 2007 Chinese work Saving Humanity (originally published in mainland China), which was adapted and translated into English in 2009. As one of the earliest and most systematic academic works addressing the fundamental issues of humanity, it, although not formally published for specific reasons, has been widely disseminated since 2009 through the author's personal website (http://www.hujiaqi.com) and various global online platforms for free access by readers. With his forward-looking strategic vision, the author pioneeringly reveals the profound challenges facing the development of human society in this book. Many of the viewpoints presented were advanced far earlier than those of his contemporaries and have gradually been validated over time. In recent years, with the social controversies sparked by the rise of technologies such as generative artificial intelligence, the content of this book has regained significant societal attention and garnered recognition and resonance from numerous renowned experts and scholars.
