    This insightful and indispensable book explores dramatic changes in Taiwanese society on the eve of the 2024 presidential elections. It seeks to demystify the complexities of Taiwan’s political landscape and illuminate social and political issues that are often overlooked.

    Part One, The Mist, provides a backdrop of the last thirty years in Taiwan, focusing on the evolution of major political parties and the emergence of new political forces. This section provides a crucial overview of the electoral dynamics in Taiwan.

    Part Two, The Smoke, uncovers the often-invisible influence of China on Taiwan’s politics and everyday life. From subtle economic pressures to overt cognitive warfare, external forces are shaping Taiwan’s political and social reality.

    Part Three, The Elephant, turns the spotlight on pressing issues impacting Taiwan’s youth, among them housing, labor, and a sense of possibility. It sheds light on the unique challenges faced by the younger generation in Taiwan, who navigate a world vastly different from their predecessors.

    Part Four, The Ocean, turns to the surrounding waters as both a literal source and symbol of Taiwanese potential and resilience. Drawing parallels from the ocean’s capacity to renew itself, this section portrays Taiwan as a nation at the forefront of significant global changes. It illustrates how Taiwan, much like the vast ocean, holds untapped opportunities and lessons for the world at large.

    This book is an essential read for those interested in understanding this dynamic island nation and its role in global affairs.
