This is not the first time when methods of information science are used to analyze natural or cultural phenomena. However, this is the first time when a computer model leads to the emergence of a rigorous scientific theory that explains the fascinating design of human society. It reveals secrets of both phenomenal success and disastrous failures of our civilization in the last few thousands of years. The book offers a fresh and unusual perspective to understand the nature of human society and what we can expect from it in the near future.
