¡Qué bello será vivir sin cultura!

The digital world, new technologies and social networks are transforming our daily lives, and these changes are reflected in areas as important as work, education, social relations or the economy. We live more and more connected, which causes us to feel tied and watched and the desire to consume algorithms increases, reducing our decision-making power and our critical spirit. At the same time, we are addicted to this technology and feel anguish and confusion when we disconnect from the continuous torrent of stimuli and information that we receive through the screens. But how can we protect ourselves from social media in the new reality? And in the midst of this great social and cultural transformation, what is the role of art, literature, reading, libraries, writing, ideologies or beliefs? How can we know the truth when we are surrounded by so much fake news, political populism or the fictitious sense of freedom and happiness that the internet provides us? Are we condemned to live in a world without culture, without thought or reflection, a world in which the individuality of each human being will dissolve into a shapeless mass?
