La verdad, es que un libro que cada dos por dos por tres tienes que parar, y pensar en que lo acabas de leer (en un libro de 1934) se asemeja a lo que se está viviendo. Los placeres inmediatos que se mencionan en la obra, como el mensaje es enviar una gran cantidad de estímulos a las personas (en nuestros casos las redes sociales), el condicionamiento en base a la repetición (también, en nuestros días, a traves de la redes sociales), como lo importante es ser superficial, como lo progreso al hecho de que los ancianos tengan trabajar, y así no tienen tiempo para pensar, como lo más importante es que la gente produzca y produzca y no se vea nada como una cosa que produce.

Cabe mencionar en el libro no se menciona que sea a traves de redes sociales, pero así es como se traduce a nuestra coyuntura.

Para mí, es una lectura obligatoria, te hace (querer) despertar del letargo en que la sociedad de productividad nos tiene atrapados.
