Penso che l'analisi di Byung-Chul Han sia lucida e profondamente vera. Viviamo in un mondo e in un'epoca la cui preoccupazione dei potenti è avere consumatori non pensanti, ai quali parlare, come l'autore sostiene nelle ultime pagine, a un livello pre-riflessivo della loro coscienza, al loro istinto, orientandone comportamenti, acquisti e, ben più inquietante, scelte di vita. Ha proprio ragione l'autore quando scrive che "fino a quando i racconti sono stati il nostro punto di ancoraggio all’essere, ci hanno assegnato un luogo e grazie a essi il nostro essere- nel- mondo è stato un essere- a- casa, fino a quando hanno dato un senso, un sostegno e un orientamento alla vita, il che significa finché il vivere stesso era un narrare, non si parlava affatto né di storytelling né di narrazioni". Abbiamo perso in definitiva la capacità di raccontare, di inserire la nostra esperienza in una storia più grande, dando alla vita un senso e una direzione che la riempia di significato e, in ultima analisi, di una speranza certa del futuro. Forse, azzardo, non è solo la capacità di raccontare che abbiamo perduto ma, e non a caso Byun-Chul Han sottilmente sembra suggerirlo, soprattutto la disponibilità a lasciarsi stupire da un racconto che, fuori di noi, renda l'esperienza un'avventura degna dei più grandi romanzi.

De auteur gebruikt een aantal ongenuanceerde weinig onderbouwde stellingen. Toch een must-read om bewuster te worden van de relatie tussen communiceren en handelen. En de centrale stelling dat de crisis van de democratie in eerste instantie een crisis van het (naar elkaar) luisteren is.

Quizá un 3,5.
Es un tratado breve que expone varios puntos y argumentos interesantes, pero que no profundiza en ellos y, por tanto, queda un tanto simplón. Sin embargo, creo que tiene cosas más que rescatables y reseñables.

Prikkelend essay waarin Han reflecteert op de staat van onze maatschappij. Draagt bij aan zelfbewustzijn.

Quotes:
Information capitalism, no more industry capitalism.
If we are to gain a deeper understanding of infocracy, of the democratic crisis under the information regime, we need a phenomenology of information. The democratic crisis begins at the cognitive level. Information is relevant only fleetingly. Because it lives off the 'appeal of surprise,' information lacks temporal stability, and because of its temporal instability, it fragments our perception. It draws reality into a 'permanent frenzy of actuality.' It is not possible to linger on information. This makes the cognitive system restless. The compulsion towards acceleration inherent in information means that time-intensive cognitive practices such as knowledge, experience and insight are pushed aside.
Fake news is first of all information. It produces its effect before the process of verification has even begun. Information flies past the truth, and truth can never catch up. Any attempt at fighting the infodemic with truth is therefore doomed to fail. The infodemic is resistant to truth.
... democracy gives way to a data-driven infocracy that seeks to optimize the exchange of information.
