English Summary/英文概要： An in-depth look at Asia, between social conflicts, technological innovations, and cultural trends, to help us better understand our society and our future.

Asia is already a demographic, economic, cultural, and military powerhouse; what happens in that part of the world is often a preview of what will take place in our societies. What will the cities of the future look like? How will we move around? How will Big Data and ar tificial intelligence change our lives? How will we deal with the demographic crisis and the environmental cri sis? What types of food will we eat? And what kind of families will we be? There is in fact a part of Asia that we don’t see, but which grows at a rapid pace; and it is discussing, tackling, and sometimes solving issues that have also been debated in our western world for some time. An Asia where a billion-dollar company is born ev ery day, cities transform themselves, robots take care of the elderly, surgery is performed remotely, blockchains are rampant, factories are automated, digital currency is the only payment method possible, and cultured meat is a daily dietary ingredient: a world with examples, cues, and solutions from which we could learn. And mistakes we could avoid repeating.
