Coles This Is the End: When the Systems We Built Stop Serving Us at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON

What happens when the systems created to serve humanity begin to control it?
This Is the End examines the political, economic, technological and social forces reshaping modern life. Across eight interconnected chapters, Samuel Rayner explores the erosion of democracy, economic balance, truth, community, purpose and privacy-and asks what may happen when progress is pursued without meaningful limits.
Drawing on historical events, contemporary evidence and accessible social commentary, the book investigates how concentrated power, corporate influence, artificial intelligence, surveillance, misinformation and growing inequality affect more than governments and markets. Their consequences reach into our relationships, identities, beliefs and understanding of what it means to live a meaningful human life.
This is not a prediction of sudden collapse, nor an argument against progress. It is a warning about extremes: what happens when efficiency becomes more important than dignity, profit outweighs wellbeing, and technological capability advances faster than society's ability to question it.
Provocative, timely and deeply human, This Is the End invites readers to look beyond individual crises and recognise the larger pattern connecting them. The future is not yet decided-but protecting it begins by understanding what we may already be losing.
