This is a bit of cliche, but still relevant to our current times:

The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.

problem is, that statement can be applied at any given time in history

I think there are times when it is more relevant, e.g. initial change from a feudal/agrarian model to industrialization. By all accounts this was perhaps the biggest, most impactful change in human history.

One could argue that we are now witnessing a similar transition with respect to the information age.

At any rate, this was a somewhat glib statement on my part. :)

Maybe that's why he didn't specify which century.
