Opis

Low Power Society is an astonishing book written by the Brazilian architect and philosopher Emanuel Dimas de Melo Pimenta. It represents more than eight years of research on the planetary metamorphosis in several countries. The economic changes, geopolitical strategies, the deep transformation in human values, education, ethics, culture, the increasing conflicts between State and Nation, the new hypercommunication technologies, the end of privacy, the end of the middle class, the emergence of a society structured on continuous entertainment and hyperconsumption - Pimenta analyses all these facts and much more, showing how they constitute a new aesthetical approach, a new civilizational leap. The book has an introduction by the Swiss Italian journalist Corrado Bianchi Porro, one of the most important Swiss specialists on economy, and a preface by the celebrated American journalist Jon Rappoport.
