an old book (1984, a meaningful number) but still worth reading, actually somehow predicted the rising trend of Fundamentalism and the failure of westernization.
What I noted is, a lot of description also applies to Chinese culture (which used to be a superpower of the world but now laments and resents westernization, and also advocates for the revival of traditions in 2020s). An interesting coincidence.
