Late-Stage Babylon

From the heights of celebrity to the corridors of tech power, the rationalist ideals of the modern age are being abandoned. In their place, we're witnessing a revival of religion, mysticism, and the occult.Why are figures like Kat Von D and Russell Brand converting to Catholicism? Why are Elon Musk and Peter Thiel funding esoteric research and invoking the arcane? Why are U.S. senators speaking in hushed tones about nonhuman intelligences under the cold glare of mainstream news cameras? This isn't irony-it's a crisis. In a world supposedly ruled by science and reason, belief is back with a vengeance. Drawing on the insights of Carl Jung and the darker undercurrents of the digital age, this book decodes a culture turning inward-toward archetype, myth, and shadow. As the boundary between the rational and the irrational dissolves, Late-Stage Babylon offers a map for navigating the strange terrain of our post-secular future.
