Japan is a nation admired for its beauty, traditions, safety, cleanliness, and technological marvels. But beneath the quiet order is a decay, a collapsing social contract, and a haunting silence that has swallowed an entire generation.
In this urgent, non-fiction manifesto, D.M. Caldwell - who lived for over a decade in Japan - draws from sharp observations and connects the dots to deliver a fearless diagnosis that few dare to speak out loud. With surgical precision, unflinching honesty and poetic clarity, Caldwell gradually peels back every layer, unearthing the final reason Japan is vanishing - and why it's not too late.
Japan: Designed for Elegant Collapse is more than social commentary - it is a cry, a call to awaken, and a final trumpet before the fall.
Whether you are Japanese, an admirer of Japan, or someone seeking truth in a world of polite lies - this is the book that dares to say what others won't.
