‘Alessandro Baricco’

Alessandro Baricco gives a theatrical reading of The Game. In his latest essay the Italian literary star describes how the digital revolution has changed our way of thinking and our way of life forever, in a way that can be compared to other crucial turning points in history such as the Enlightenment or the Renaissance. But are we not running the risk of losing our humanity in this digital revolution?
In his characteristic anecdotal style Baricco searches in The Game for answers that do not generate fear but contain hope for the future.

Alessandro Baricco is one of the guests of honour of this year's Foire du Livre de Bruxelles.
