Futurist Peter Leyden argues that 2025 marks the beginning of a new civilizational era he calls “The Great Progression,” lasting until 2050. He frames this period as the fourth major reconstruction cycle in modern history, driven by three simultaneous technological revolutions: artificial intelligence, clean energy, and bioengineering. Leyden predicts that these forces will transform global economic structures, political systems, and the foundations of modern civilization, ushering in a new age of abundance, sustainability, and cognitive amplification.
