Description

  • What does post-Democracy hold for us? 

The quantification of everything has led societies to extreme inequalities, driven by unfair and greedy capitalism. All kinds of value and economic deficits turn dreams into nightmares and result in conflicts, which, combined with the passivity of the masses, increasingly create rifts in democracy and contribute decisively to the rise of authoritarianism. Seeking a new normality in post-democracy, amidst the confusion of post-truth, humans are called to choose between the path of obsolescence and the path of preparing for a different future. 

  • How does the dark world of manipulation work? 

The Cambridge Analytica scandal, the dominance of propaganda and fake news, Putin with his "Olgin trolls" from St. Petersburg attacking the West, and his social media strategist, the chimera of social media, and the "Surveillance Capitalism" within a "theatrical" democracy. 

  • How much are we at risk from a digital dictatorship?

From the "great slumber" of society and the dangers of a digital dictatorship to the future of post-humanity, with the prevalence of Artificial Intelligence, but also the "manipulation" of DNA, in order for humans to conquer illness and ultimately death, and become gods themselves. 

"Modern society resembles an isolated beehive, insatiable and dependent on "digital food," in which each person builds their own prison... weak, disoriented, and obedient, they enter on their own... and are unable to escape, because there is no reason to, as they are deluded that the door is open!"

Review this product
  • This is a unique book about Greek data. The reader learns how the world to come will be, without alarmism, with deep knowledge of what is happening today at the forefront of technology, politics, and international power and relations, and how all of these directly affect our lives. As the author writes: "It may also be an invitation to overcome obstacles, in harmony with the well-known phrase 'I am pessimistic because of intelligence and optimistic because of will'."
