The civilization of the red fish - Bruno Batino
What do twenty-four hours of our lives look like in our digital society? Hell of distraction: hundreds of messages, tweets, news, rumors, photos, videos, notifications, and stimuli... digital devices call us, snatch us, possess us, take us hostage, and turn us into prisoners of the screen for hours each day. We have become red fish, those stupid creatures that swim endlessly in their glass tank, emptied of our being, unable to wait or focus, exposed, drowning in the ocean of social media and the internet, and subject to the control of algorithms and robots. Economic empires have created a new kind of slavery, with relentless insistence. And at the heart of this digital system, and at the heart of our daily lives, lies a hidden project: it is the attention economy based on increasing viewing time productivity to extract more profit value. Let us leave our glass tank, say no to this new addiction and to the monitoring of our minds by major global companies, and learn how to confront it. Let us regain control of our lives, our time, and our freedom. And let us read this valuable book in its paper version, without a smartphone at hand! Dar Al-Nashr Al-Markazi Al-Thaqafi Al-Arabi
