Civilización o barbarie : La batalla por el futuro de la humanidad

In a time marked by the erosion of our attention span, the dictatorship of the algorithm, and the advance of artificial intelligence that redefines work and power, political scientist Alán Barroso invites us to confront what some prefer to ignore. "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 has already spilled over maps, and the silent secession of elites who can afford to live outside the rules. Barroso doesn't just point out the symptoms; he also dismantles the narratives that present this decline as inevitable and shows how, in this atmosphere of disorientation, those who seek to weaken what binds us together gain ground. Barbarism, Barroso warns, takes hold when we stop thinking collectively. This book is an invitation to reclaim political imagination and defend the institutions that make communal life possible. Because refusing to envision the future is also a way of losing it.
