The New Middle Ages is an essay that explores the evolution of society and culture in the context of the technological and social changes of the 20th century. The authors, Umberto Eco, Furio Colombo, Francesco Alberoni and Giuseppe Sacco, analyze how the media, globalization and mass culture have transformed the way we live and think, creating a new reality that resembles the Middle Ages in some aspects. This book offers a critical and reflective perspective on the contemporary world and its challenges.
Umberto Eco was an Italian medievalist, philosopher, semiotician, novelist, cultural critic, and political and social commentator. In English, he is best known for his popular 1980 novel The Name of the Rose, a historical mystery combining semiotics in fiction with biblical analysis, medieval studies and literary theory, as well as Foucault's Pendulum, his 1988 novel which touches on the history of occultism and its contemporary interpretation through the new age movement.
