The new book by Alessandro Baricco is a brilliant essay about the rapid onset of the digital revolution and the reaction of an ordinary person to all new toys that involve humanity in gambling. What we are experiencing now is the result not only of a technological revolution, consisting in the introduction of more and more gadgets into our lives, but also of a mental uprising. Those who initiated it - from the pioneers of the Internet to the creator of the iPhone - did not have a specific project, only a stunning crazy plan: to make it impossible to repeat the tragedies of the twentieth century. As a result, every year a mountain of information grows at a dizzying pace, rising higher and higher above the landscape of humanity. The digital revolution leads to the destruction of any borders, elites, castes, it completely transforms the landscape of life, making the very concept of man blurred, mobile, unstable. Our problems are transformed into games, adults and children solve everyday problems, using tools that, if not games, are very similar to them. Because it's all a game!
