As people move out of the countryside, away from their traditional, close-knit villages, and into large anonymous cities, they become more exposed to the ideas that are reshaping societies around the world. An emerging world culture is arising that combines elements from across all cultures in novel and intriguing ways.

Short of an apocalypse, the world will see iterations of these common themes all over the place within a few decades, like dialect variants of a common language—one that everyone understands.
