The history of Western civilisation can also be told as a story of the displacement of the agricultural lifestyle with its annual cycle of work, satisfaction of constant needs and taboo of certain boundaries.

But somehow we were transformed, moved to unlimited expansion that swallowed up even God, and our consciousness began to be defined by an optimistic and arrogant belief in endless development.

But why are we increasingly gripped by vague anxiety about our future, and why are apocalyptic scenarios becoming so popular and consistently profitable for cinemas and publishers?

To answer this question, according to the author of the book, we should turn to the tools of deep psychology, as well as try to extract from ancient Greek mythology and literature the wisdom hidden in them about pride and the inevitable reckoning for it.
