Overview

*Premio Ortega y Gasset de Periodismo a la trayectoria profesional 2023*

El mundo entonces es un fascinante retrato de nuestro presente, una herramienta que sirve para definir qué hacemos, quiénes somos, quiénes –quizá– seremos.

«Martín Caparrós, uno de los más geniales cronistas contemporáneos, depura de manera exquisita, emocionada, vibrante y distanciada una prosa de un poderío narrativo excepcional». Fernando R. Lafuente, ABC Cultural

El mundo entonces es una guía para entender el mundo en que vivimos. Escrito –propone Caparrós– por una historiadora del siglo XXII, resume y entrecruza los principales hilos conductores de nuestra organización social, económica, política y cultural para ofrecernos un panorama general de nuestra sociedad en el fin de la Era del Fuego.
 
Sus capítulos incluyen desde la explosión demográfica hasta los cambios en el amor, la familia y la situación de las mujeres, pasando por las nuevas formas del trabajo, la irrupción de la IA, el poder de las grandes corporaciones digitales y su peso en nuestras vidas, el avance chino y el descrédito de las democracias, los cambios en el ocio y la alimentación, las nuevas formas de hacer la guerra y las viejas formas de creer en dioses. Todo contado de una forma sencilla y amena, enriquecida por análisis y datos que iluminan nuestra realidad con nuevos sentidos, miradas diferentes.
 
Una primera aproximación a este proyecto fue publicada a lo largo de varios meses en El País. Este libro es su versión actualizada y aumentada con los perfiles de 25 personajes que definen nuestra época, desde Putin o Messi o Elisabeth Holmes hasta una pastora mongola o un príncipe de las islas Marshall o una obrera bengalí.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

*Ortega y Gasset Award for Career Journalism 2023*

The World Then is a fascinating portrait of our times, a tool for understanding what we do, who we are and, perhaps, who we will become.

The World Then is a guide for understanding the world we live in. Written –Caparrós proposes– by a twenty-second century historian, it summarizes and traces the connections between common themes in the world’s main social, economic, political and cultural organization to present a general overview of society at the end of the Age of Fire.
 
The topics covered range from population explosion, love, the family, and the status of women to new work patterns, the emergence of AI, the power of large digital corporations and their impact on our lives, the rise of China and the decline of democracy, shifting leisure activities and eating habits, new forms of warfare, and old ways of believing in God. The narrative style is simple and accessible, supported by analyses and data that shed light on our reality from different approaches and perspectives.
 
This updated edition includes profiles of 25 figures who define our times, among them Putin, Messi, Elizabeth Holmes, a Mongolian herder, a Marshall Islands prince and a Bengali worker.
