Beyond the United Nations: A Prototype Blueprint for Global Governance is a book of systemic design for the future. Humanity now faces crises that no twentieth-century institution can contain: accelerating climate change, the exponential rise of artificial intelligence, recurring pandemics, and fragile economic structures. These are borderless risks, advancing at exponential speed, while we remain reliant on outdated frameworks of sovereignty, diplomacy, and bureaucracy-tools that once maintained order but now obstruct solutions.

Author Ping Xu asks a radical question: What if global governance were designed not by diplomats, but by system designers? Drawing upon three lineages of thought-Jacque Fresco's Venus Project, Elon Musk's engineering logic and prototype-driven method, and her own interdisciplinary journey spanning music, language, and policy design-Xu presents a ""prototype blueprint"" for global governance.

This is not a utopia. It is a living draft of institutions that can evolve, adapt, and embed transparency, responsibility, and shared stewardship at their core. For readers who believe that governance must match the speed of technology to prevent civilizational collapse, this book is both a warning and an invitation: to take part in writing humanity's next covenant.

人类正在进入一个新时代,二十世纪的制度已无法保护我们免于二十一世纪的危机。气候变化、人工智能、疫情与经济崩溃--这些全球性风险没有边界,但我们现有的体系仍被过时的主权与官僚惰性所束缚。 本书提出一个大胆的问题:如果全球治理不是由外交官,而是由制度设计师来重新设计,会怎样? Ping Xu 借鉴了雅克-法斯科的远见--""维纳斯计划"",伊隆-马斯克的工程逻辑与快速原型方法,以及她自己跨越音乐、语言与政策设计的独特经历,提出了一份面向未来的全球治理原型蓝图。 这不是乌托邦,而是一份活的设计--能够进化、适应,并在指数级风险的时代保护人类。对于那些相信制度必须重新构想、才能跟上科技速度与全球挑战规模的读者来说,这本书既是警告,也是号召。
