Sommario/riassunto

Up until now, nostalgia was seen as a general cultural phenomenon, but hardly in relation to technological development. In addition to contributions on the relevance of old technologies, the volume contains analyses of three technical fields: mobility (cars and trains), architecture and urban planning (real and virtual retro spaces, historisms in construction and design, and post-apocalyptic nostalgic utopias) and technical media (photography, Film and video games).

Sommario/riassunto

This ebook consists of a summary of the ideas, viewpoints and facts presented by Jonathan Kay in his book "Among the Truthers". 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 Jonathan Kay's book.<br>Kay believes conspiracy theorists are now at the center of American politics. He argues that this phenomenon is an important threat, and that it must be replaced by rational and measured thinking.<br>
