In 'The Expulsion of the Different', Byung-Chul Han explores contemporary society, characterized by hypercommunication, information overload, and consumerism. The author argues that the proliferation of the same, disguised as growth, generates pathological alterations in the social body, leading to the destruction of the individual, depression, and self-destruction. This essay analyzes the power of the same in phenomena such as fear, globalization, and terrorism, offering a profound reflection on perception and communication in our times.
