Anyone know about this book? I ran into some reviews on it (from the "warning" perspective) and it doesn't sound like a book I WANT to read, but kinda like a book I maybe SHOULD read, from the "know your enemy" perspective.
One of the authors, Klaus Schwab, is the founder of the World Economic Forum, and the reset the book talks about is apparently along the lines of using the fallout, including people having fallen into line regarding lockdowns, wanting gov money to help them, etc., from the virus to increase government, both nationally and in the "one world" sense of a UN with actual power of countries, global and national wealth distribution, the usual socialist drivel.
It's a book I would ignore if it were written by some media or other nobody SJW just pushing the socialist agenda, but given the author's connections, I thought it might be an interesting window into the minds of what many world leaders would like to do to "improve life" using virus response as a building block.
The one and five star reviews at the Amazon link are interesting in themselves. I won't buy this book, but might borrow it from somewhere (it doesn't seem to be available in the Kindle lending library).

If I recall correctly, this is the group from which Biden lifted the "Building back better" slogan.

Interesting. I had no idea that the Biden admin was referencing it. Thanks for the link.

Bunch of statist totalitarian yahoos who think they can control the attitudes, desires, ambitions and actions of billions of people across the globe when they haven't even figured out how to herd cats yet.
It will fail painfully and horribly for the same reason(s) socialism and communism fail. Trying to make everyone "the same/equal" only works when everyone is equally oppressed and equally poor.
Klaus Schwab and the W. E. F. ought to be extinguished.

I saw this story in my news feed this morning. Before I had heard of the great reset, I might have just made a joke about "papers please". The fact that the World Economic forum is mentioned in this article suddenly connects with my OP for me. The more you know...

My wife and I were supposed to be on a Christmas river cruise with Viking right now in Germany. We postponed it to next year due to COVID. Viking has already emailed us that they will be requiring proof of vaccination when their cruises start up again.

Klaus Schwab = Raymond Cocteau, even dresses like him.
Demolition Man was supposed to be a low brow parody of a dystopian future, not an actual prophesy.

The left seems to excel at taking dire warnings about dystopian futures and turning them into "how to" guides.
