The 21st century began with hope: globalization, techno-optimism, the end of the Cold War, and the promise of peaceful development. But soon, dreams of a united humanity crashed against the reality of competition, fear, and the struggle for resources and influence.
The old world map no longer works. NATO is no longer unquestionable. China is no longer just the "factory of the world." Russia, Iran, Pakistan, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela—nations once dismissed—are forming a new bloc.
We call it the Formidable Seven.
This is not a novel. This is a deep analytical look at today's and tomorrow's world—devoid of illusions, grounded in facts, analysis, and possible scenarios.
