  • Overview

    El relato de la generación que lo cambiará todo.

    El mundo se asoma al abismo. Cuando el motor que había impulsado dos siglos de progreso y democracia se detuvo, hace veinticinco años, las grandes promesas del siglo XX comenzaron a desmoronarse. Por esas grietas se han ido abriendo paso el extremismo y un malestar difuso, pero atronador.

    En medio de ese colapso se quedaron atrapados los “hijos del optimismo”, los miembros de una generación que se hizo mayor con la misión de construir una "sociedad del conocimiento" y terminó convertida en chivo expiatorio cuando aquel proyecto se vio truncado. Hoy son los sospechosos habituales cada vez que se busca señalar a quienes nos han llevado al callejón sin salida en el que ahora estamos.

    Y es cierto, los haters tienen razón: los “hijos del optimismo” acabaron con la economía industrial. Pero no por vagos o irresponsables, sino precisamente porque cumplieron con su mandato: se alzaron como «la generación más preparada de la historia» y emprendieron una transformación inédita. En realidad, inauguraron un mundo nuevo en el que las coordenadas del anterior ya no funcionan.

    Tienes en tus manos un libro que es una brújula de esta realidad emergente: para comprender de dónde venimos, adónde vamos y las grandes oportunidades que se abren ante nosotros.

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    The story of the generation that will change everything.


    The world is teetering on the brink of disaster. When the engine that had driven two centuries of progress and democracy came to a halt twenty-five years ago, the great promises of the 20th century began to crumble. Extremism and a dispersed but thunderous unrest have been creeping in through those cracks.

    Caught in the midst of this collapse were the “children of optimism”, members of a generation that grew up with the mission of building a "knowledge society" and ended up becoming scapegoats when that project was cut short. Today, whenever someone seeks to point the finger at those who have led us to the dead end we now find ourselves in, they are the usual suspects.

    And it's true, the haters are right: the “children of optimism” destroyed the industrial economy. But not because they were lazy or irresponsible, but precisely because they fulfilled their mandate: they rose up as "the most prepared generation in history" and undertook an unprecedented transformation. In fact, they ushered in a new world in which the coordinates of the previous world no longer work.

    This is a book that is a compass for this emerging reality: to understand where we come from, where we are going, and the great opportunities that lie ahead of us.
