Description
Freedom and Chaos: Internet, Consumerism, Climate, and the Great Challenges of the 21st Century is an essay that examines the obstacles to freedom in contemporary Western societies, exploring their historical, economic, technological, and psychological roots. The book begins with the global reorganization following the Second World War, highlighting the impact of the Cold War, capitalism, and consumerism. It then investigates the influence of the Internet and social media in spreading the “post-truth” society, where emotions and beliefs often prevail over facts. The analysis continues with the neoliberal revolution of the 1970s, which encouraged economic growth at the expense of the environment and collective well-being. The book also explores human cognitive dissonance, social insecurity, and the widespread lack of self-esteem. The essay proposes concrete solutions, such as education for more sustainable lifestyles and the development of algorithms to combat fake news. Through an analysis that ranges from the individual to the global level, Freedom and Chaos offers an innovative and multidisciplinary approach, combining sociology, history, psychology, politics, and technology to outline practical strategies that can help people become truly freer.
Author
Art, for me, has always been a way of communicating aspects of myself and the thoughts that remain hidden from day to day. Something profound and genuine that goes beyond the appearances of sporadic encounters or fleeting conversations. A space in which to immerse oneself and to feel free, without shackles and without having to flee anywhere, simply the magic of a pen and paper. The Sea of Hope is the second work published with Brè, following the noir novel entitled Run! which was released in 2020.
