THE PLANETARY MIND

: Al Gore’s Global Mind, Kishore Mahbubani’s One World, and the Architecture of the Coming Civilization

About

What comes after the age of fragmented nations, competing powers, and isolated human knowledge?

In The Planetary Mind: AI Gore’s Global Mind, Kishore Mahbubani’s One World, and the Architecture of the Coming Civilization, Kamaruzzaman Bustamam Ahmad explores the emergence of a new planetary era in which artificial intelligence, global consciousness, and human civilization become increasingly interconnected.

Drawing on the vision of the Global Mind and the idea of One World, this book examines how humanity is undergoing a profound transformation in how we understand intelligence, cooperation, identity, and the future of civilization.

Beyond technological progress alone, The Planetary Mind asks deeper questions:

What kind of world are humans creating?
Can artificial intelligence become part of a broader evolution of human knowledge?
Is a shared planetary consciousness possible in a divided world?

Combining insights from civilization studies, geopolitics, philosophy, and future thinking, this book offers a compelling reflection on the architecture of a coming civilization—one shaped not only by machines and networks but also by humanity’s search for meaning and collective destiny.

A thought-provoking journey into AI, global transformation, and the future of human civilization.
