Fantasyland How America Went Haywire A 500Year History by Kurt Andersen is a captivating and thought-provoking book that delves into the history of America's obsession with technology and its impact on society. The author, Kurt Andersen, is a well-known journalist and novelist who has written several books on American culture and politics. In this book, he explores how America's fascination with technology has evolved over the past five centuries, from the early days of the scientific revolution to the current digital age. The book begins with the story of the Pilgrims, who arrived in America with a vision of a utopian society but soon found themselves struggling to survive in a harsh new world. As the country grew and prospered, Americans became increasingly enamored with the latest technological advancements, from the steam engine to the internet. However, this love affair with technology has not been without consequences, as it has led to the erosion of traditional values such as community, nature, and the human spirit. Andersen argues that America's addiction to technology has created a fantasyland where people can escape reality and indulge in their wildest desires. He contends that this fantasyland has had a profound impact on our culture, politics, and economy, leading to a society that is both more connected and more divided than ever before. Throughout the book, he provides vivid examples of how technology has shaped our lives, from the rise of the automobile to the proliferation of social media.
Fantasyland How America Went Haywire A 500Year History by Kurt Andersen - увлекательная и заставляющая задуматься книга, которая углубляется в историю одержимости Америки технологиями и их влиянием на общество. Автор - Курт Андерсен - известный журналист и романист, написавший несколько книг об американской культуре и политике. В этой книге он исследует, как развивалось увлечение Америки технологиями за последние пять веков, с первых дней научной революции до нынешнего цифрового века. Книга начинается с истории пилигримов, которые прибыли в Америку с видением утопического общества, но вскоре оказались в борьбе за выживание в суровом новом мире. По мере того как страна росла и процветала, американцы все больше очаровывались последними технологическими достижениями, от парового двигателя до интернета. Однако эта любовная связь с технологиями не обошлась без последствий, поскольку привела к эрозии традиционных ценностей, таких как сообщество, природа и человеческий дух. Андерсен утверждает, что пристрастие Америки к технологиям создало фантастическую страну, где люди могут избежать реальности и предаться своим самым смелым желаниям. Он утверждает, что эта фантастическая страна оказала глубокое влияние на нашу культуру, политику и экономику, что привело к тому, что общество стало более связанным и более разделенным, чем когда-либо прежде. На протяжении всей книги он приводит яркие примеры того, как технологии сформировали нашу жизнь, от подъема автомобиля до распространения социальных сетей.
Fantasyland How America Went Haywire A 500Year History by Kurt Andersen è un libro affascinante e riflettente che approfondisce la storia dell'ossessione americana per la tecnologia e il loro impatto sulla società. Curt Andersen è un noto giornalista e romanziere che ha scritto diversi libri sulla cultura e la politica americana. In questo libro sta esplorando come si è sviluppata la passione dell'America per la tecnologia negli ultimi cinque secoli, dai primi giorni della rivoluzione scientifica all'attuale era digitale. Il libro inizia con la storia dei pellegrini, che sono arrivati in America con la visione di una società utopistica, ma si sono presto ritrovati a lottare per sopravvivere in un mondo nuovo duro. Mentre il paese cresceva e fioriva, gli americani erano sempre più affascinati dagli ultimi progressi tecnologici, dal motore a vapore a internet. Ma questo legame amoroso con la tecnologia non ha avuto conseguenze perché ha portato all'erosione dei valori tradizionali, come la comunità, la natura e lo spirito umano. Andersen sostiene che la dipendenza dell'America dalla tecnologia ha creato un paese fantastico dove le persone possono sfuggire alla realtà e consegnarsi ai loro desideri più coraggiosi. Sostiene che questo fantastico paese abbia influenzato profondamente la nostra cultura, la nostra politica e la nostra economia, rendendo la società più connessa e più divisa che mai. Durante tutto il libro, fornisce esempi evidenti di come la tecnologia ha creato le nostre vite, dal rilancio dell'auto alla diffusione dei social network.
