Lucía Etxebarría integra su experiencia de cancelación pública, y la de otras figuras conocidas, como síntoma de un clima político y cultural más amplio. Un ambiente en el que el disenso se castiga y el miedo se convierte en una herramienta de control. Provocador, subjetivo y deliberadamente incómodo, este libro combina crítica política, psicología social y análisis del lenguaje. Explora el papel del neuromarketing y de la manipulación emocional para mostrar cómo la razón cede terreno frente al impacto afectivo y el pensamiento binario.

From a young age Kerouac was a spiritual thinker and questioner, and he always considered himself a spiritual writer. Buddhism gave more meaning to Jack’s work as a writer: he was working not for personal accomplishment and glory but for human betterment. And Buddhism justified his lifestyle: with its vision of the material world as empty and illusory, he was free to do what he wanted.
