No Soy Un Robot

Juan Villoro

We are already digital beings. We have gone from the Gutenberg galaxy to the digital galaxy. How does it affect our perception of reality? What is the role of books and reading in this new era? These pages show mobile devices, selfies and Twitter, control through facial recognition, the Internet and viral lies, online reading and the transformation of the way information circulates... The book explores the anticipatory clues in countries technologically more advanced, such as Japan or South Korea; the prophecies contained in Bradbury's visionary literature and the old controversies about reality and representation, which regain validity, and all this combined with Villoro's personal experiences as a Sociology student, his stay in Berlin in the mid-eighties (in the cold war) or his stay at Stanford, where the pandemic caught him. And always with a latent question on the horizon: where are we headed as citizens and as readers?
