From smartphones to screens, computers, and devices, they all last less in our hands.

All silent witnesses of a superfluous, momentary time that does not wait for anyone. Symbols of the incessant bustle that, far from being the exception, are the norm of our modernity. From the virtual neighborhoods in Geocities to the ubiquitous story modes that plague all applications today, ephemeral by default. \u003cstrong\u003eIncreasingly virtual and digital realities\u003c\/strong\u003e, which blur the difference between the real world and the computer world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis little book is a series of quick reflections to help us understand that volatility is both technological, as well as a reflection of the stormy and restless contemporary human soul.
