About This Book
The Watchman’s Rattle (2009) asks the chilling question of what happens when the world we’ve built becomes too complex for the human brain to manage. Drawing on history, neuroscience, and real-world case studies, it reveals why brilliant civilizations stall, why obvious solutions get ignored, and why insight may be humanity’s last evolutionary advantage.

- Big-picture thinkers who like connecting history, psychology, and science

- Anyone feeling skeptical of modern life and curious about our future
About the Author
Rebecca D. Costa is an American sociobiologist, futurist, and author. As the founder and leader of a Silicon Valley technology marketing firm, she worked alongside major tech innovators and had a front-row seat to how quickly modern complexity accelerates. She pivoted away from that career to spend years researching and writing, and her work has positioned her as a prominent speaker and commentator on fast adaptation in high-complexity environments.
