What if one of the most powerful forces in human history has been hiding in plain sight?We tell the story of civilization through wars, rulers, inventions, religions, and institutions. But beneath all of them lies another force: the way each generation raises the next.KIN: Childhood, Parenting, and the Making of Civilization follows childhood across the long arc of human history—from the first communities that shared the burden of raising helpless infants to agricultural households, empires, factories, classrooms, consumer culture, smartphones, and artificial intelligence.Along the way, KIN explores how:• human vulnerability helped make cooperation, empathy, and culture possible• agriculture transformed children into workers, heirs, and carriers of family continuity• religions, schools, and states shaped children into believers, subjects, and citizens• industrialization changed childhood from economic labor to protected development• markets discovered the child consumer• screens, algorithms, and artificial intelligence are reshaping childhood once againDrawing on history, anthropology, psychology, neuroscience, and the social sciences, Nam Nguyen reveals childhood not as a private stage of life, but as one of civilization's hidden foundations.This is not a parenting manual. It offers no formulas for raising perfect children. Instead, it asks a larger question: what happens when families, institutions, technologies, economies, and cultures all participate in shaping the next generation?Because every society eventually becomes what it teaches its children to value, fear, believe, create, and become.What kind of people are we raising—and what kind of world is raising them?For readers of big-idea nonfiction interested in history, psychology, family, education, technology, and the future of society, KIN offers a new way to understand where civilization came from—and where it may be going next.
