In the sixteenth century, Gutenberg's printing spread new ideas among the people, fostering uprisings like the Peasants' War of 1525. Similarly, today social media organizes and spreads social anger, as demonstrated by the assault on Capitol Hill in 2021. In "Five Hundred Years of Anger," Francesco Filippi discusses a fascinating thesis: there is a close relationship between uprisings and means of communication from the sixteenth century to today, and undoubtedly what we are witnessing in these years is a revolution, of which we are the protagonists. Never before have we needed to make good use of history to understand more deeply the world we live in.
