By Kamaruzzaman Bustamam-Ahmad

The Planetary Mind: Al Gore’s Global Mind, Kishore Mahbubani’s One World, and the Architecture of the Coming Civilization explores one of the most important questions of the twenty-first century: how humanity can understand itself in an era shaped by artificial intelligence, global interdependence, and shifting centers of power.

Drawing on Al Gore’s concept of the Global Mind and Kishore Mahbubani’s vision of One World, Kamaruzzaman Bustamam-Ahmad develops a broader reflection on the emergence of a planetary consciousness — a new way of seeing humanity as a single, interconnected civilization.

The book examines the transformations reshaping our world and asks what it would mean to think beyond nations, borders, and old civilizational divisions, offering an architecture for the civilization now coming into being.
