The book “Hypnocracy. Trump, Musk and the New Architecture of Reality” has become a bestseller on January 15, being the subject of several forum debates.

The book attracted the attention of journalist Sabina Minardi from L’Spresso who, having some doubts about the writing and trying to contact the author, revealed the “deception” orchestrated by the philosopher Andrea Colamedici, who signs as a translator, although he was the one who wrote it with the help of two platforms, said.

I wanted a book that works as a technical support, but also as a practical tool, analysis and demonstration. I asked myself: “How can I tell a story that still has no name and build everything from scratch?” Today we can invent new ways to do philosophy. One is to put yourself in the hypostasis of living an experience. Another is to create with artificial intelligence. ”Colamedici said in an interview for L’Espresso.

Although the author of the book is the “philosopher Jianwei Xun”, in reality it does not exist. Asked who actually wrote the book, Colamedici replied: “It is not possible to clearly say who he wrote: we drew a way in a few steps starting from words. “

My reflection started from an analysis of Nadia Urbinati from (Ziarul) Domani, who said: «Trump catalyzes something new but we don’t have a name for it yet». I thought about it‘he said, adding that afterwards he made two projects with two AI platforms and combined them.

It was found that it “moved” with the dynamics of a true success. “T.Otui, since his launch on January 15, has moved with the dynamics of a true successful book: three reissues in two months, among the 20 best -selling, reviewed and quoted everywhere“I say journalists from L’Espresso.

Andrea Colamedici gave assurances that in the book she scattered “crumbs like in Hansel and Gretel”.

Part of experienced disorientation is dictated by recursion, an intrinsic structure of artificial intelligence production, which often returns to concepts“He said.
