Achille Mbembe's latest book addresses some of the existential concerns of the modern age and the power structures that have shaped them. Modernity's allure has created a false belief in the idea of progress while concealing a destructive streak in human activities. He warns that there is trouble ahead unless humans chart a different course. But is this the lamentation of a Jeremiad or a timely intervention in the current state of the world
