The Grasshopper Man: And The Metamorphosis Of The Electronic Society

For the first time since the dinosaurs disappeared, humans are driving animals and plants to extinction faster than new species can evolve. More than one billion people worldwide have no access to clean water. The Rule of Law is gradually disintegrating all over the world. More than three million kids under the age of five years die every year due to environmental factors like pollution. Only in 2010 about ten million tons of plastic were thrown to the seas; virtually all fish, many of the vegetables we eat and literally all the beaches in the world have microplastics, which we ingest and that become part of our bodies. Only the Great Garbage Patch in the Pacific Ocean was almost equivalent to the size of Mexico. Look at the map and see what that means. Everything indicates that we are in a suicidal race to the 6th Extinction. People are absorbed in robotic and cyber systems. Hyper consumption and continuous entertainment. Politicians thinking the world as if they were in the 19th century. Why? All this constitutes the subject of this book. The Grasshopper Man and the Metamorphosis of the Electronic Society.
