That there should be a global language not directly tied to a culture is one of the main arguments for an artificial launague being adopted as the global lingua franca. Not to say there isn't issues with that either since the most popular constructed languages are heavily adapted from European languages (looking at you esperanto).
I would really love an international language with consistent spelling and where the spelling matches the pronunciation. For me the chosen language doesn't have to be artificial, but the selection process should be: a scientific choice based on consistency, ease of learning, clarity in meaning, ... Everyone who knows a few languages, knows English is probably the worst choice when it comes to these objective criteria.
It's like the system of measurement: leave it to the people and we'd all still be using wacky thumbs, feet and elbows for measuring, but smart people came together in France (a few times) and now we have an easy to understand consistent system of measurement.
Arguably there have been languages like this such as polari which was spoken as a lingua franca amongst sailors at every port around the world.
Controversially would also suggest Modern London English and Pidgin English could also be modern examples.
