The alignment century, engineering conscious civilization.

We are no longer threatened by ignorance. We are threatened by misalignment. In The Alignment Century, Muganga Ibra argues that the defining challenge of the twenty-first century is not war, climate change, artificial intelligence, or political instability in isolation—but the failure to align power with wisdom, technology with ethics, and intelligence with long-term survival. As technological capability accelerates beyond historical precedent, humanity faces a decisive question: Can civilization mature faster than its tools? This book moves beyond commentary and into architecture. It presents a rigorous framework for engineering conscious civilization—one capable of stability, foresight, and systemic coherence. Drawing from governance theory, technological ethics, cognitive science, and civilizational analysis, Ibra outlines the structural reforms required to prevent collapse and design sustainable global systems. From AI alignment and institutional redesign to planetary security and intergenerational responsibility, The Alignment Century offers a blueprint for transforming fragmented global power into coordinated civilizational intelligence. This is not a speculative manifesto. It is a design document for the future. For policymakers, technologists, scholars, and thinkers of the long horizon, this work reframes our era as the moment humanity must consciously align itself—or fracture under its own acceleration. The future will not be inherited. It must be engineered.
