Locked in our echo-chambers, bombarded by a relentless stream of news that leaves no space or time for reflection, we move inside a reality that fights with itself. The information stumbles, social network amplify, in-depth analysis becomes a domain of the few, the truth hides itself in winding paths and the comparison with the other becomes increasingly heated.
