This book provides an overview of the new political possibilities and risks present in today's society, which has seen a global collapse of confidence and inefficient democracy-oligarchies.

In the book, expired democracies are challenged in the face of the new possibilities that technology opens up. This is the first book to offer new, e-political models for the resolution of our global chaos.

Next, the book offers a dialogue with the work itself, which looks at politics, sociology, anthropology, psychology, ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics,...

His starting point is that reality provides the data, to be understood as constraining affordances, and we transform them into information, like semantic engines. Such transformation or repurposing is not equivalent to portraying, or picturing, or photographing, or photocopying anything. It is more like cooking: the dish does not represent the ingredients, it uses them to make something else out of them, yet the reality of the dish and its properties hugely depend on the reality and the properties of the ingredien...
