This is perhaps Allen's most directly sociological and philosophical work. In it, he treats of the evolution of the systems man has created to help navigate and manipulate the world. Along the way, he unpacks the ways in which the new science of flight will lead to a different consciousness, just as the locomotive had done in his lifetime; the reason people so often misunderstand the meaning of 'survival of the fittest', and its appropriate application to human life, and more.

In this short work, Allen explores the way in which our minds create and interact with our circumstances, travelling from the inner world of thoughts to the final conquest of the spirit. On the way he explores the way in which we create our own futures through the habits we choose, how bodily conditions are no excuse for spiritual weakness, and how true poverty is of the mind, not the circumstances.

Stiamo barattando l'empatia, la solidarietà, la stessa capacità di pensare e di raccontare la nostra esistenza con un eterno presente sovraccarico di informazioni disorientanti, ansie da prestazione, solitudine.

Attraverso un confronto - un vero e proprio corpo a corpo - con alcuni dei maggiori pensatori del Novecento, Byung-Chul Han traccia una topografia di questo concetto e del suo potere salvifico.

There are people who, for thousands of years, have been setting new standards, defining our direction, breaking boundaries that were once thought to be unbreakable. They create new opportunities based upon a unique vision that, at the time, no one was able to see or replicate. They cross uncharted frontiers that were previously thought uncrossable. They continue to define our very way of life, introducing new concepts that interrupt and improve the normal flow of life forever. They are bold, uninhibited, unapologetic, and they continue to create the impossible.

There are many things that seem to prevent us from being happy in our lives. Usually, things don't turn out the way we want them to.
