Summary:

This book by Alfonso Ballesteros explores the societal and individual challenges posed by the rise of digital governance and the erosion of traditional democratic systems. It delves into the fragmentation of society and the diminishing collective attention caused by technological advancements such as artificial intelligence and data-driven platforms. The book analyzes the impact of global digital powers on public life, highlighting their dominance over traditional state authorities and the resulting shift in governance. It also examines the utilitarian perspective prevalent in modern culture, which reduces human dignity to mere utility, contributing to social and existential disconnection. The author emphasizes the need to reclaim individual and collective agency to counteract the negative effects of digitization. Geared toward readers interested in social sciences, philosophy, and contemporary political issues, the book presents a critical yet accessible insight into the ongoing crisis of democracy and offers potential paths toward resolution.
