Pausa Book by Hugo Alconada Mon - Editorial Planeta (Spanish Edition)

We didn't see the pandemic coming. Or perhaps, we didn't want to see it. There were warnings and alerts, yet we chose to ignore them. Now we know everything was set for it to happen. It caught us off guard because we allowed it to. It was too late. A virus spreads across the world. And now, what else aren't we seeing? Another pandemic? An economic collapse worse than the crash of '29? A resurgence of authoritarianism? The explosion of social inequality? Climate change? How will this dystopia impact our lives in the coming years? Do we learn from experience?

Hugo Alconada Mon, a prominent journalist known for the quality of his investigations, interviews the foremost experts from various disciplines to learn from them. He turns to questions to glimpse how human beings, capable of causing destruction, can assume the consequences. How will the reconstruction be? What might happen in the future? His interviewees are men and women recognized by their peers and society, of different ages and from the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. The premise? To help us think, to show us what they see about this uncertain reality. In these tumultuous times we face, their perspectives can serve us in reflecting. A pause.
