“The fundamental tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words.”
(Philip K. Dick)

 

A reflection on the relationship between the means of communication and power, and on the power of communication to condition society’s thinking, to distort the past, to read a single present and imagine incredible futures.

Are we victims of communication, enslaved to the manipulation strategies of economic and political powers, according to the formula communication=power=social control? Or are there still margins for using the media as a positive force, a tool and a road to change?

Looking at the onslaught of electronic devices that now accompany our lives as indispensable prostheses, it seems clear that the use of new tools offers us a different way of perceiving reality, increasingly poised between direct, honest information and a falsification of the same, without control.

Once again, we cast a glance at the positive force of communication, which is not only “fourth power” or “power 4.0”, but is also the force of the different languages that compose it and offer us different looks and readings.
