  • Overview

    UN ENSAYO PARA RECUPERAR LA IMAGINACIÓN POLÍTICA Y DEFENDER LA CIVILIZACIÓN EN TIEMPOS DE COLAPSO.

    "Este libro no es un manual de supervivencia individual. Para eso ya existen miles de gurús vendiéndote cursos para hacerte millonario si eres pobre o refugios nucleares en Nueva Zelanda si eres rico. Este libro trata sobre la única salida real: la colectiva".

    En un momento marcado por la erosión de nuestra atención, la dictadura del algoritmo y el avance de una inteligencia artificial que redefine el trabajo y el poder, el politólogo Alán Barroso nos propone mirar de frente aquello que algunos prefieren no ver.

    Civilización o barbarie recorre los grandes desafíos de nuestro siglo: la desinformación que alimenta los extremismos, un capitalismo que convierte el tiempo en mercancía, la crisis climática que ya desborda los mapas y la secesión silenciosa de las élites que pueden permitirse vivir al margen de las reglas.

    Barroso no se limita a señalar los síntomas; también desmonta los relatos que presentan el deterioro como algo inevitable y muestra cómo, en ese ambiente de desorientación, ganan terreno quienes buscan debilitar lo que nos mantiene unidos. La barbarie, advierte Barroso, se abre paso cuando dejamos de pensar colectivamente.

    Este libro es una invitación a recuperar la imaginación política y a defender las instituciones que hacen posible la vida en común. Porque renunciar a pensar el futuro también es una forma de perderlo.

    "La barbarie está ganando. No la barbarie de las hordas salvajes y el caos que imaginaban nuestros antepasados. La nuestra es más sofisticada: viste traje de marca, cotiza en bolsa y tiene cuenta en Islas Caimán".

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    AN ESSAY TO RECOVER POLITICAL IMAGINATION AND DEFEND CIVILIZATION IN TIMES OF COLLAPSE.

    “This book is not a manual for individual survival. There are already thousands of gurus selling you courses on how to become a millionaire if you are poor or nuclear shelters in New Zealand if you are rich. This book is about the only real way out: the collective one."

    At a time marked by the erosion of our attention, the dominance of algorithms, and the advance of artificial intelligence that is redefining work and power, political scientist Alán Barroso proposes that we look squarely at what some prefer not to see.

    Civilization or Barbarism explores the great challenges of our century: the disinformation that fuels extremism, a capitalism that turns time into a commodity, the climate crisis that already exceeds the maps, and the silent secession of the elites who can afford to live outside the rules.

    Barroso does not limit himself to pointing out the symptoms; he also dismantles the narratives that present deterioration as inevitable and shows how, in this atmosphere of disorientation, those who seek to weaken what holds us together are gaining ground. Barbarism, Barroso warns, takes hold when we stop thinking collectively.

    This book is an invitation to reclaim our political imagination and defend the institutions that make life together possible. Because giving up on thinking about the future is also a way of losing it.

    “Barbarism is winning. Not the barbarism of savage hordes and chaos imagined by our ancestors. Ours is more sophisticated: it wears designer suits, is listed on the stock exchange, and has an account in the Cayman Islands.”
