Breakfast. A child, schoolbag on the chair, looks up at her father over a bowl of cereal.

Good question. Let's look at the map.
For 250 years, each generation could tell the next one the same thing: learn, work, and tomorrow will be better than today. That promise ran on cheap energy, growing complexity and machines that kept getting better.
Terminus is about the moment that promise stops being obvious. We do not sell an answer. We go back through history to see how we got here, when it has happened before and how such eras end. Then we step out of the station and look at the ways out.
