LA ERA DEL INDIVIDUO TIRANO

La Era del Individuo Tirano by Éric Sadin In today's world, strange episodes like the viralization of conspiracy theories, the increasingly polarized public opinion, and the rise of politicians who feed off social media humor have a common root. To understand these phenomena as a whole, it's not enough to point to economic instability or simply condemn them with moral complacency. Instead, we need to interpret them as manifestations of a new condition of the contemporary subject, which has its roots in individualism and predates the last decade. This book offers a different perspective on the impact of technological change on psychology and society. Éric Sadin explores the genealogy of this condition, tracing it back to the emancipatory project of liberal individualism, the myth of the self-made man, and the narcissism of mass consumption in modern societies. He then examines the role of digital platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram in shaping our collective psyche. By examining these different strands, Sadin sheds light on the spiritual disposition of our age and offers a nuanced understanding of the complex forces at play in contemporary society.
