It could have had many titles other than The Age Of Stupid. Maybe?
The Age Of 95% of scientists were stupid The Age Of we knew but did not care The Age Of entitled consumerism The Age Of our grandchildren will probably sort it The Age Of the self The Age Of ....... ?
The vignettes of individual circumstances from around the world were interesting and contrasting. One that stuck in my mind was the young African aspiring doctor, selling plastic bottles of diesel to scrape a daily living.
