The Ephemeral Age

The disposable culture of the Internet, condensed into an equally fleeting and easy-to-read book. The legacy we are leaving may be as weak as the volatile magnetic memories in which we back it up. But have we ever thought about that?We live in perpetual change, but it seems to accelerate more and more. From smartphones to screens, computers, and devices, they all last less in our hands. Almost like the same applications we use, which delete photos and videos in 24 hours or before.
It is not a coincidence. Personalities and celebrities who are born in the morning and at night are already forgotten. All silent witnesses of a superfluous, momentary time that does not wait for anyone. Symbols of the incessant bustle that, far from being the exception, are the norm of our modernity. From the virtual neighborhoods in Geocities to the ubiquitous story modes that plague all applications today, ephemeral by default.
Increasingly virtual and digital realities, which blur the difference between the real world and the computer world. This little book is a series of quick reflections to help us understand that volatility is both technological, as well as a reflection of the stormy and restless contemporary human soul. The result of a turbulent time of which, perhaps, no memory will remain.
