Carne coltivata e cocktail di meduse, Big Data e intelligenza artificiale, aziende milionarie e sorveglianza, chirurgia da remoto e chip neurali, leggi anti fake news e deepfake. L'Asia è ormai una potenza demografica, economica, culturale e militare, che cresce a un ritmo serrato e dove ciò che accade spesso è soltanto un'anticipazione di quel che accadrà nelle nostre società occidentali. D'altronde, osserva Simone Pieranni, oggi in Asia si stanno discutendo, affrontando, e in alcuni casi risolvendo, temi e problemi di cui da tempo si dibatte anche da noi. Cosa mangeremo in futuro?

Empire of Fear rips open the hidden history of Joseph Stalin’s brutal rise—and the terror machine he built to control an empire. From secret police raids to forced famines, from propaganda to purges, this gripping true account exposes how Stalin turned loyalty into obedience… and obedience into survival.

Story
Latin America is a mystery, shrouded behind myths and niceties. However, the politically incorrect truth about the region is becoming more prescient as the diaspora balloons, especially in Anglo-America. If you want to get past polite-society conversations and marketing narratives to understand the reality on the ground, this is the book for you. The Latin America Red Pill is part investigative journalism, part economic analysis, and part autobiography.
