Han traces what he calls the violent power of sameness in phenomena such as fear, globalisation and terrorism. He argues that the other, in all its forms, is disappearing, and that what makes society ill today is not repression or prohibition but excess: of communication, information, production and consumption, which ends in depression and self-destruction.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
