Abstract: The year 2025 has been a “breakout year” in which humanity sought a balance between technological speed and socio-economic constraints. This main article summarizes the key findings of the 18-article analysis series and provides a roadmap for readers to access all parts of this great accounting.

Panorama of an Era: Change, Turmoil, and Adaptation

As we close 2025, we have examined the structural transformations in every field of life throughout the 18 articles we leave behind. We witnessed a shocking period where artificial intelligence permeated the decision-making mechanisms of daily life, the economy was squeezed between the “base effect” and the public’s “reality of livelihood,” and the housing crisis turned into a social struggle for rights.

This series processed a wide spectrum through a “cautious” and “realistic” filter, from the quality gap between “signboard universities” and established institutions in Türkiye, to political processes shaking local governments like the IBB investigations; from freedom of press cases to chronic breaches in cybersecurity.
