Having straight talk with heads of state and the most brilliant contemporary artists alike, or doubling as TV host and producer, comes natural to Sophie Shevardnadze.

In this book, Sophie puts to use her innate light touch in conversations with her good friends, visionary economists, artists, scientists.

To name few:

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Ai WeiWei
Helen Fisher
Jeffrey Sachs
Rem Koolhaas
Philippe Cousteau

Recorded both before the COVID-19 pandemic — those more on the prophetic side — and during the actual outbreak — those bordering on reflections and projections — these interviews, without mincing words, complement the author’s own experience, adventures, and contemplations throughout the lockdown.

The end product offers the reader an insight into the future of humanity and food for thought in one:

How has the pandemic changed the world?

How has it changed us human beings?

And what should we expect and do in the future?
