Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes Generation Beta (2025–2039) and its impact on cultural and spiritual heritage by using Strauss and Howe’s Generational Theory. Generation Beta, with a “nomadic/reactive” profile, will grow in an era fully integrated with Artificial Intelligence and immersive virtual reality. Although these young people may be able to become a bridge between tradition and intercultural innovation, the importance of classical heritage definitely risks being diminished. This is driven by great technological absorption, changes in the structure of the traditional family, and the innate skepticism towards old institutions manifested by people with a nomadic profile.
