The book explores the impact of a media-saturated society on democracy, highlighting how the overwhelming presence of spectacles—ranging from corporate branding to major global events—distracts and disengages citizens. It argues that this obsession with visual and sensational experiences undermines the effectiveness of democratic politics, leading to a disconnect between the public and the political process. Through this lens, the author critiques the current state of democracy and its challenges in a spectacle-driven world.
