THE LITTLE PRINCE RETURNS TO EARTH

About the Book

A SMALL PRINCE. A VERY BIG QUESTION. In 2027, the Little Prince leaves his tiny planet, B-612, and returns to Earth. What he finds is a world more connected than ever, yet more divided, anxious and confused, He walks through airports, summits, media studios and the vast global •chicken house' of endless noise, declarations and outrage, With gentle humour and piercing innocence, he asks the questions adults avoid: Why do intelligent people talk so much and do so little? Why does information grow while wisdom remains scarce? And can humanity still remember what truly matters? But this volume does not stop with the Prince's journey. In The Mental Manhattan Project, Benjamin Katz continues the search from another direction: through his own life. From kibbutz childhood and war to psychology, long experience, hard-earned clarity and a late partnership with artificial intelligence, he explores one central problem: how can a highly intelligent species remain so self-defeating? Here the fable opens into reflection, autobiography and philosophical challenge. Together, these two manuscripts form one movement, The first exposes the comedy, tragedy and absurdity of Homo Stupidligence. The second asks what might come after it. The Little Prince sees the world with clear eyes. The Mental Manhattan Project searches for a wiser human being able to move from noise to thought, from certainty to correction, from tribal reflex to conscious evolution. This is therefore not only a literary volume, but an invitation: to see more clearly, to think more honestly; and to become more responsible participants in the unfinished human experiment. The two works speak to one another across style and genre, yet share one purpose: to help us grow wiser if we wish to survive and evolve. Recognizing folly is the beginning. Learning to outgrow it is the task.
