Thinking Died Yesterday. An Autopsy Report on the Distracted Species (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798281647182)

We scroll, we swipe, we consume, we obey: but do we still think?
This book is a journey through the long history of mass distraction, from ancient Rome's gladiators to modern-day algorithms, from propaganda ministries to infotainment, from Edward Bernays to TikTok. And beyond.
Combining philosophy, media theory, political analysis, and cultural history, The Distracted Species: Thinking Died Yesterday is not just a diagnosis: it's a wake-up call.
It brings together the major thinkers, theories, historical phases, landmark works, and contemporary examples with real intellectual weight and urgency, offering you a deeply reflective and powerfully relevant map of our distracted age.
You are not distracted by accident: you are distracted by design, and recovering your mind is the real revolution.

This book is part of the INSIGHTS SERIES, a collection of works dedicated to presenting and exploring bold, evidence-based ideas that challenge conventional thinking.
