Current events 204 pages

This book brings to light dynamics of the modern democracies which are difficult to admit. Political consent is a matter of marketing, a problem of psychology of the masses and the Emotional Contagion, the continuous bombing of stirrings and the uninterrupted production of fake news (not a modern tool, actually) allow an hidden but very effective manipulation. Let’s add the new technologies: Artificial Intelligence, combined with the huge amount of data on us and our privacy (the Big Data) and the role of the different Intelligences on the planet will make increasingly controlled a political system which should instead be free and without interferences.
