Kompletní popis

This book examines contemporary technologically saturated life and argues that decline is not approaching but already underway. It names current reality as immediate modernity and defines its dominant state as The Decline: a loop where digital technology and capitalism reinforce one another while eroding meaning, stability, and future direction. The chapters trace how acceleration shifts from promise to paralysis: systems upgrade, yet social life repeats, exhausts, and frays. Drawing on social theory and cultural critique, the analysis follows platforms, artificial intelligence, crisis driven media, and data economies as they reshape identity, attention, and affect. Anxiety is reframed not as personal malfunction but as a rational response to structural conditions that demand constant productivity while delivering diminishing returns. Rather than predicting collapse, the book reveals how decline is presented as progress itself, and offers a diagnostic framework for understanding burnout, digital culture, technocapitalism, and experiences of lost futures.
