I primarily bought this small paperback to read Eco's 1995 essay Ur-Fascism, which was a great read, and articulates very strongly how fascism can be both nebulous and very easily recognised. Eco's list of the fourteen properties of 'ur-facism' is well observed, even if how many have become or remain important tenets of major political parties today turns towards the depressing.
I also enjoyed Censorship and Silence—its discussion of drowning out an idea or truth with noise as being as effective a form of censorship as forcibly silencing someone has been distressingly born out in the 21st century.

Sehr informativ und ich mag wie eco schreibt. Sollte man häufiger lesen um alles zu verinnerlichen was einem nicht schwerfällt da er unkompliziert wichtige Inhalte beschreibt und es ja kurze Bücher sind
