| Sumario: | Ariel Colombo's work delves into the intricate relationship between the concept of time and political theory, particularly focusing on the implications of technological advancements on societal perceptions of time. The author argues that the acceleration of information and communication technologies has dissolved traditional perceptions of past and future, creating a continuous present that challenges the need for collective political action. This phenomenon is explored through the lens of historical cycles of capitalism and the impact of rapid decision-making processes in a globalized world. The book critiques the notion that technological immediacy diminishes the role of intentional political action, suggesting that democratic processes become obsolete in the face of market-driven decisions. Colombo calls into question the historical assumptions made by political and philosophical thought regarding time and progress, urging a reconsideration of how society engages with these concepts. The intended audience includes scholars of political theory, philosophy, and those interested in the socio-political implications of technology.
