No soy un robot
Juan Villoro

NONFICTION | 2024 | 320 pages

A reflection on how the digital world transforms our lives and our relationship with reading.

We are now digital beings. We have transi- tioned from McLuhan’s Gutenberg galaxy to the digital galaxy. How does this affect our percep- tion of reality? What political trends does this technological revolution incite? How does it in- fluence journalism? What is the role of books and reading in this new era? Juan Villoro answers these and other questions avoiding academicism while combining autobiographical anecdotes, reflection and speculative exploration. The book analyses advances in technologically in countries such as Japan and South Korea, the prophecies contained in the visionary literature of Bradbury, and old debates about reality and representation, present in Rousseau and Diderot, which have regained relevance.
