The book was written in 1890-1891 and published posthumously in 1913. The book contains advice on how to live a good life, how to be happy, and how to find meaning in life. The book is divided into three parts: the first part discusses the importance of understanding the process of technological evolution and its impact on society; the second part explores the idea that developing a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge is essential for human survival; and the third part emphasizes the need for unity among people in a world torn apart by conflict. The book's central theme is that technology has the potential to bring about great benefits, but it also carries risks and challenges. To navigate these risks and challenges, Tolstoy argues that we must develop a personal paradigm for understanding the technological process and its impact on society. This paradigm should be based on the principles of love, compassion, and respect for all people, regardless of their background or beliefs.
