The liberal international order is over. What comes next doesn't have a name yet - until now. On February 28, 2026, a single military operation reshaped the world. Operation Epic Fury didn't just take out a regime. It detonated a theology, overruled an international order, fused artificial intelligence with ancient sacred cosmology, and extended civilizational competition into orbit - all before breakfast.
Every available framework failed to explain it.
In
CivCosm, Dr. Steve Turley - scholar, commentator, and one of the most-watched voices on the global populist and nationalist movements - offers the map the world has been missing. Drawing on post-secular theory, civilizational sociology, political theology, and the emerging fields of theopolitics, technopolitics, and astropolitics, Turley introduces a bold new framework:
Civilizational Cosmocracy.
CivCosm is not merely a geopolitical realignment. It is a civilizational metamorphosis - a world in which sacred order, AI-powered sovereignty, and cosmic horizon are fusing into a single, integrated whole.
Inside, you'll discover: - Why the fall of Kabul was not a tactical failure but a demographic omen - and what the global fertility gap means for the future of secular liberalism
- How the reassertion of religion across the globe disproves the secularization thesis - and what Pitirim Sorokin, Arnold Toynbee, and Samuel Huntington got right and wrong
- Why the war against Iran was simultaneously a war prosecuted by AI, Space Force, and Shia eschatology - and why no existing framework could hold all three
- What the "Digital Noosphere" is, why Teilhard de Chardin's vision has arrived ahead of schedule, and who will control it
- How China, India, and America are each encoding their sacred cosmologies into the AI and digital infrastructure that will govern the next century
- Why the road to Taiwan ran through Tehran - and what civilizational technopolarity means for the defining confrontation of our era
- What "Cosmocracy" really means - from early Christian iconography to orbital sovereignty - and why the cosmos itself has become the ultimate theater of civilizational competition
This is not a comfortable book. The world it describes is more ancient and more technologically alien than any order we have known. But for those who sense that the old maps have stopped working - for the patriots, the faithful, and the ones who have refused to let the flame go out -
CivCosm is the first honest cartography of the age now dawning.
The liberal international order didn't just weaken. It was overruled. The only question left is whether you have the maps to navigate what comes next.
