In the essays that make up The Stone of Madness, Chilean writer Benjamín Labatut continues the theme he began in his bestseller When We Stopped Understanding the World: despite man’s desire for rationality, scientific development, and progress, the contours of reality are blurring before our eyes, the world unfolding as an incomprehensible chaos whose logic is accessible only to a madman. Responding to the events of recent years – the pandemic, the use of artificial intelligence, the protests in Chile and elsewhere – Labatut reflects on the causes of the current crisis of narratives that have collapsed under the onslaught of the irresistible arrival of the new. When the world becomes stranger and stranger, the scientific approach, cold facts and figures cannot remain the only key to understanding; perhaps, in order not to wake up one day in a nightmare, we need to listen more often to our wildest dreams.
