We are reading a current conversation with 11 different writers who left us very valuable works. It is current because we ask an author who lived 500 years ago about the harms of social media and we get the answer from that author's perspective and opinion. In this book, we can approach the answer to the question of what an author who lived 500 years ago would tell us if he were alive today.
In his preface, Menteş emphasized that he wrote these conversations taking care not to deviate from the authors' ideas. If you research the lives and ideas of writers, you can understand that Menteş is really successful in this regard.
However, these dialogues, which Menteş prepared by following the authors' ideas, lose some of their realism because they are absolutely not original, no matter how faithful they are to the authors. Is it very important? Of course not. Because the first purpose of the book is to enjoy.
The drawings in the book take this pleasure to a higher level. We thank Hakan Karataş for these beautiful drawings. I don't know if a book like this has been written before, but it is a very entertaining, informative and valuable concept. We need such concepts.
