Book Briefing
The Book Briefing is a monthly online conversation with leading authors whose work explores the evolving relationship between science, consciousness, spirituality, and human flourishing.
Join David Lorimer, Programme Director of the Scientific and Medical Network and editor of Paradigm Explorer, as he explores with each author the ideas behind their book, their personal journey, and the deeper questions their work raises about our understanding of mind, healing, ethics, and the future of human development.
Hosted by: David Lorimer
The next Book Briefing is with: Fabian Scheidler
Thursday, 23 July 2026
5:00–6:00 PM (UK) • Online
In this Book Briefing, David Lorimer is joined by Fabian Scheidler to explore The End of the Megamachine, a sweeping examination of the historical forces driving today’s ecological, political, and social crises. Tracing 5,000 years of militarised power, capital accumulation, and ideological control, Scheidler challenges prevailing assumptions about civilisation and progress while illuminating the systemic roots of global instability. The conversation opens a space for deeper reflection on collapse, transformation, and the emerging possibilities for a more humane and sustainable future.
