The author of "The Prosperity of Vice" and other bestsellers examines with joyful ferocity this so-called "civilization" that disrupts our lives. Love? Now it's Tinder! The office? It's remote work! A new job? Algorithms are the recruiters! Political parties? It's all on Twitter! At the center of this new world is Homo Numericus, a being overwhelmed by contradictions. He wants to control everything, yet he is irrational and impulsive, driven to addictive behaviors by the very algorithms that monitor every detail of his existence. Should we despair? Not necessarily. The digital revolution was born from the expectations of a society that dreamed of infinite knowledge, wanting every voice to be heard. Without revealed truth, liberated from the hierarchies of the past. Finding a way to achieve this utopia is also the ambition of this book.
