When the Scripts Collapse
What Happens When Civilizations Lose Their Stories
We live by invisible scripts.
They tell us what matters, what’s right, what a “good life” should look like.
But what happens when those scripts stop working?
You feel it as quiet disorientation.
Not panic. Not war. Just… a growing sense that the world no longer makes sense.
When the Scripts Collapse is a thought-provoking book for readers seeking more than surface answers.
It explores what happens when a civilization’s core narratives—the beliefs that once held everything together—begin to unravel.
Through case studies of six major civilizations, from ancient Egypt to the Great Depression-era United States, this book shows:
Civilizations rarely collapse in a single moment.
Instead, they drift into incoherence—until people no longer know what they’re living for.
This book helps you:
Understand why “common sense” often fails in times of deep change
Recognize signs of script failure in modern life: in work, politics, identity, and meaning
Make sense of your personal confusion as part of a larger civilizational pattern
See how meaning breaks—and how it sometimes re-emerges
Whether you're feeling emotionally burned out, socially disoriented, or simply unsure what’s “real” anymore—
this book gives you language, structure, and perspective.
It’s not about predicting the end.
It’s about navigating what comes after the story breaks.
