My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Interesting essay about power, about how you can define, calculate and measure any increase and decrease of it. Now power is in decline, says the author, and through a "brief history" of power, shows how current places of so-called "power" no longer have the same "power" of the past. There are several plausible explanations for this then, including the increase of the world population, the culture medium and the ease with which information travels over the network. I thought it was going to be a boring book, instead it was pretty easy and fast to read.

Interessante saggio sul potere, su come lo si possa definire, calcolare e misurarne eventualmente crescita e decrescita. Proprio di una sua diminuzione parla l'autore e, attraverso una "breve storia" del potere, illustra come attualmente i posti cosidetti di "potere" non hanno piú la stessa "potenza" di un tempo. CI sono per questo poi varie spiegazioni plausibili, tra cui l'aumento della popolazione mondiale, della cultura media e della facilitá con cui le informazioni viaggiano sulla rete. Pensavo sarebbe stato un libro noioso, invece si é rivelato facile e veloce da leggere.
