In Zakaria's "Acknowledgments," we learn that he worked on his timely new 2024 book Age of Revolutions over a period of ten years, during which time much has happened. As baseline point of departure for his timely new 2024 book, he says, "My 2003 book, The Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracy at Home and Abroad, analyzed emergent populism, the threats to democracy, and the often bumpy road of modernization - though the trend has gotten darker and more complex in the two decades that followed" (p. 327).
Now, in Zakaria's "Introduction: A Multitude of Revolutions" in his timely new 2024 book Age of Revolutions, he says, "I cannot and do not cover all revolution" (p. 16; his italics). Fair enough. He also says, "The story I'm telling [in his timely new 2024 book]" . . . "is about the push and pull between the past and the future. . . . Throughout this story, we will see two competing plotlines: liberalism, meaning progress, growth, disruption, revolution in the sense of advance, and illiberalism, standing for regressions, restriction, nostalgia, revolution in the sense of returning to the past. That dual meaning of revolution endures to this day. Donald Trump sees himself as a revolutionary, but one who wants to bring back the world of the 1950s" - the world of what I have referred to as the print culture that emerged in our Western cultural history with the emergence of the Gutenberg printing press in Europe in the mid-1450s (Zakaria, 2024, p. 17; his italics).
Zakaria briefly discusses many U.S. presidents, including President Joe Biden. But Zakaria discusses Donald Trump far more extensively than he discusses any other U.S. president (pp. 2-3, 12, 13, 17, 197, 200, 201-202, 210, 255, 261, 263-264, 265, 269, 285, 286, and 294).
Zakaria discusses certain topics extensively, such as (1) illiberalism (for specific page references, see the "Index" entry on illiberalism [p. 373]); (2) the internet (for specific page references, see the "Index" entry on internet [p. 374]); (3) liberalism (for specific page references, see the "Index" entry on liberalism [p. 375]); (4) populism and populists (for specific page references, see the "Index" entry on populism and populists [p. 378]); and (5) technology (for specific pages references, see the "Index" entry on technology [p. 380]).
