Sommario/riassunto

This ebook consists of a summary of the ideas, viewpoints and facts presented by Chris Hedges in his book "Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle". This summary offers a concise overview of the entire book in less than 30 minutes reading time. However this work does not replace in any case Chris Hedges' book.<br>Hedges charts the rise of a "post-literate society" that has created a world of false certainty and magic.<br>
