The Fifth Horseman
Mankind has always feared plague, war, famine and death, and throughout its history has seen them as inescapable disasters, forces that subjugate the destinies of individuals and entire nations.
These catastrophes, embodied in the four horsemen of the apocalypse, were symbols of the finitude of human life and vulnerability to natural and social disasters.
But in the 21st century, science and technology have given people unprecedented power - the ability, if not to defeat, at least to curb these horsemen. Diseases can be cured, wars prevented, famine minimised and life expectancy extended.
Yet humanity still faces a new threat, more dangerous and unpredictable than ever before - the Fifth Horseman.
He is the personification of global Uncertainty.
This Horseman can bring about a one-step collapse of the entire civilisation
