To be an influential thinker today, what topics must be addressed? How should one shape one's own work? Is it advisable to criticize others? How should texts be interpreted? These questions inevitably lead us to others of an even more general nature: what types of thought have become dominant today? Do intellectuals still exist? How do social media influence the search for truth? With subtle irony -- and not without humor -- Micali unsparingly plunges his critical scalpel into the work of today's most fashionable thinkers. His analytical gaze and solid intellectual background expose the hidden tactics behind contemporary philosophical success: from the prophets of dystopia to the champions of social injustice and the virtuosos of "dromo-spectacular" thought.
