Just finished “The End of History and the Last Man” by Francis Fukuyama. One of the most impressive books I’ve ever read, for its clear writing, philosophical rigor, and broad prescience. Fukuyama doesn’t get everything right, but he gets damn close. Any recommendations for similar books?

Have you read other books by Fukuyama? I really didn't care for it (nor did many others - a friend jokingly called it "the end of writing") his 2-book series on political order and decay, OTOH, is a masterpiece

Canonically, you should follow with its polar opposite, Samuel Huntington’s “The Clash of Civilizations”. And then realize that they are perhaps not as opposed as they look: https://www.noemamag.com/the-clash-of-civilizations-is-the-politics-of-the-end-of-history/

Fukuyama has a book about post humanism where he apparently says, wait it's actually not the end of history. I haven't read it yet but thought you might be interested

Well. You might want to read Foucault's lectures on neoliberalism as an antidote, or confirmation, depending on how you read it. Excellent analysis of the post cold war situation anyway. Here's good edition: Michel Foucault. 2008. "The Birth of Biopolitics". Translated by Graham Burchell. New York: Palgrave Macmillan.

I found The Culture of Narcissism to be similarly broad in scope and scary in prescience.

Pair it with The Decadent Society by Ross Douthat if you want the opposite perspective

Sure thing! If you enjoyed “The End of History and the Last Man” by Francis Fukuyama, you might also like “The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order” by Samuel P. Huntington. It offers a fascinating perspective on global politics and culture, providing a great counterpoint to Fukuyama’s ideas.

I was also impressed with this one. I was particularly struck by the argument that democracy is the end state system since authoritarian states hold sham elections.

Glad you enjoyed Fukuyama! If you're looking for similar reads, consider 'The Clash of Civilizations' by Samuel Huntington for a geopolitical perspective, 'The Origins of Political Order' also by Fukuyama for more on political evolution, or 'Sapiens' by Yuval Noah Harari for a broad historical narrative
