About the book
An astute analysis of the information regime, the new government to which we are subjected, by the most widely read philosopher of the 21st century. Digitalisation advances inexorably. Stunned by the frenzy of communication and information, we feel powerless in the face of the tsunami of data that deploys destructive and deforming forces. Today, digitisation also affects the political sphere and causes serious disruption to the democratic process. Election campaigns are information wars waged with every conceivable technical and psychological means.
