Death of the Gods

A new force is chipping away at the old, familiar places where power used to sit: jolting economies, transforming political parties, swallowing newspapers, eclipsing experts, dismantling corporations. But as it rips down traditional seats of power, it is at the same time redistributing that power to new, mysterious places, in new, mysterious ways.

In Power, Carl Miller takes us on a journey to expose the new centres of power and control today, and the forces shaping our world. Moving through several realms – work, politics, business, culture, media and crime – Power draws on pioneering research and analysis to describe how power is created, applied and sustained in the twenty-first century, and attempts to define what power really means today. Astounding new opportunities – as citizen journalist, digital politician, entrepreneur or activist – are at our fingertips. But do we have more power than ever before, or are we more controlled than ever before?

O noua forta indeparteaza locurile vechi si familiare unde puterea se afla: economiile zguduitoare, transformarea partidelor politice, inghitirea ziarelor, eclipsarea expertilor, demontarea corporatiilor. Dar, pe masura ce darama scaunele traditionale ale puterii, in acelasi timp redistribuie puterea in locuri noi, misterioase, in moduri noi si misterioase. In putere, Carl Miller ne duce intr-o calatorie pentru a expune noile centre de putere si control astazi si fortele care modeleaza lumea noastra.
