Who protects freedom when power learns to reach the place where freedom begins?
Averting Civilizational Armageddon is a book about the next battlefield of history: the human worldview. Not territory, oil, markets, or even data alone. The deeper prize is the inner picture through which a person understands truth, fear, loyalty, identity, good, evil, and the future.
Sergey Buryanov argues that today's wars, ideological conflicts, and geopolitical deadlocks depend on more than armies and diplomacy. Before people fight, obey, hate, consume, or surrender, someone has usually taught them what to see, what to fear, and whom to trust.
Yuval Noah Harari warned that artificial intelligence may learn to hack human beings. Buryanov asks the legal question that follows: what protects the human mind when hacking people becomes a method of power?
Yanis Varoufakis describes techno-feudalism: a world where platforms command attention, data, access, and dependency. Buryanov moves from diagnosis to defense. He shows how law can protect the person from platform power, algorithmic manipulation, biometric control, neurotechnological pressure, and the capture of worldview choice.
Curtis Yarvin and the post-democratic imagination offer another future: corporate sovereignty, network states, private rule, and managed populations. Buryanov argues the opposite. The answer to digital chaos is not a new lord, a better empire, or a cleaner cage. It is a human-centered legal order where no state, corporation, platform, religion, ideology, or algorithm may own the inner world.
The core idea is public-law worldview neutrality. Public power must not impose, privilege, suppress, or rank worldviews. Its duty is to protect the equal freedom of every person to form, preserve, revise, and express their own understanding of life.
This is why the book matters now.
AI, facial recognition, biometric identification, emotion recognition, neurotechnologies, and cognitive influence are moving closer to the human self than any old propaganda machine ever could. At the same time, humanity is searching for a more empathetic society: one that respects the creative, scientific, and moral uniqueness of every person.
Buryanov's concepts of worldview liberty and public-law worldview neutrality give that future a legal foundation. They turn a moral hope into an institutional path: from theory, to recognition, to implementation in international law.
The book adds a legal dimension to the debate on free will, behavior, creativity, and neuroscience. If Robert Sapolsky asks how free human beings really are, and Rick Rubin writes about creativity as a way of being, Buryanov asks what legal conditions are needed for freedom and creativity to survive as lived human realities.
The answer is practical. The monograph presents draft texts of a Global Declaration, a Global Convention, and a Model Law for the protection of cognitive liberty, mental integrity, worldview freedom, freedom of conscience, and fundamental human rights.
This book is the quintessence of more than thirty years of research into freedom of conscience, human rights, secularism, worldview neutrality, and the relationship between state, law, religion, ideology, and the person. In 2026, it becomes a starting point for real change: a move from warning to legal construction.
This book is for readers who feel that the old language of politics is too small for the world now forming, and for everyone who believes that a humane, abundant, free-thinking society depends on the legal conditions we build today.
Harari maps the danger.
Varoufakis names the system.
Yarvin imagines surrender to new rulers.
Buryanov offers a legal way to resist, and a human way to begin again.
The future of peace, dignity, creativity, and freedom depends on whether law can protect the last territory of human autonomy: the inner world.
