Este é o resumo de Sociedade paliativa. A sociedade paliativa é uma sociedade do curtir. Ela degenera em uma mania de curtição. O like é o signo, o analgésico do presente. Ele domina não apenas as mídias sociais, mas todas as esferas da cultura. Nada deve provocar dor. Não apenas a arte, mas também a própria vida tem de ser instagramável; ou seja, livre de ângulos e cantos, de conflitos e contradições que poderiam provocar dor. Esquece-se que a dor purifica. Falta, à cultura da curtição, a possibilidade da catarse. (Trecho da obra).

Enxames digitais não formam um coletivo responsável, que age politicamente. Os followers, na condição de novos súditos das mídias sociais, deixam-se adestrar em gado de consumo por smart influencers, influenciadores inteligentes. Ficam despolitizados. A comunicação dirigida pelos algoritmos nas mídias sociais não é nem livre, nem democrática.

Story
Este é o resumo de Vita contemplativa ou sobre a inatividade. Estamos perdendo nossa capacidade de não fazer nada. Nossa existência é completamente absorvida pela atividade e, portanto, totalmente explorada. Como só percebemos a vida em termos de desempenho, tendemos a interpretar a inatividade como um déficit, uma negação ou uma mera ausência de atividade quando, muito pelo contrário, é uma capacidade independente interessante.

Story
Este é o resumo de Não-coisas. O livro gira em torno de coisas e não-coisas. Desenvolve tanto uma filosofia do smartphone quanto uma crítica da inteligência artificial a partir de uma nova perspectiva. Ao mesmo tempo, recupera a magia do sólido e do tangível e reflete sobre o silêncio que se perde no ruído da informação.

Story
James Baldwin's impassioned plea to 'end the racial nightmare' in America was a bestseller when it appeared in 1963, galvanising a nation and giving voice to the emerging civil rights movement. Told in the form of two intensely personal 'letters', The Fire Next Time is at once a powerful evocation of Baldwin's early life in Harlem and an excoriating condemnation of the terrible legacy of racial injustice.

1917. Virginia Woolf arrives at Asheham, on the Sussex Downs, immobilized by nervous exhaustion and creative block. 1930. Feeling jittery about her writing career, Sylvia Townsend Warner spots a modest workman’s cottage for sale on the Dorset coast. 1941. Rosamond Lehmann settles in a Berkshire village, seeking a lovers’ retreat, a refuge from war, and a means of becoming ‘a writer again’. Rural Hours tells the story of three very different women, each of whom moved to the country and were forever changed by it.

Story
Why do things happen the way they do in our lives? How do we create the causes for a happy life? The Buddhist practice of mind training gives us the answer to these questions: it involves overcoming our self-centered attitude and replacing it with an attitude that cherishes others. This, in turn, leads us to act in ways that naturally lead away from suffering and toward happiness—in short, to create good karma.

Story
This book gives listeners access to the wide world of sex-specific medical issues as they play out in the research labs and doctor’s offices—and how women pay the price, with a close look at the impact that has on minority populations. It has been challenging to get individual researchers and practitioners to accept this, as well as research and medical institutions and manufacturers of medications and devices. The journey towards equal treatment and the understanding of sex and gender differences in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment is still unfolding.
