My two biggest passions concerning computers are hardware and gaming. I wrote this book because I don’t want that important pieces of history regarding computer hardware, games and, in a smaller amount the 80’s operating systems to be forgotten and lost.

In the present volume, I focus on a few aspects of the role played in your life by applied philosophy, philosophical practices, philosophical counseling and therapy.

Odată cu deschiderea arhivelor fostei Securităţi, au ieşit la iveală detalii legate de racolarea de către autorităţile vremii a unor persoane cu concepţii radicale de dreapta, între care şi militanţi legionari în exil. Regimul comunist de la Bucureşti ajunsese într-un punct în care legitimarea şi susţinerea pe plan intern şi extern deveniseră priorităţi, iar soluţia era relativ simplă: în ţară trebuia creat un duşman al unităţii naţionale – minoritatea maghiară a devenit rapid o ţintă –, iar în străinătate urmau să fie atraşi reprezentanţi de marcă ai emigraţiei româneşti. Volumul evidenţiază tendinţa xenofobă şi naţionalistă ce a caracterizat perioada cultului personalităţii lui Nicolae Ceauşescu, oferind informaţii inedite despre legionari şi represiunea stalinistă, asasinate şi răzbunări sau lupta partizanilor anticomunişti. Acestora li se adaugă o trecere în revistă a principalelor transformări politice prin care a trecut România din 1990 până în 2015.
