The cover looks very old fashion. The whole page is filled with a black and white photograph. On the photograph we see a street with a television. Next to the television are magazines and above the television are newspapers. It is garbage, waiting for the moment that someone picks it up but we all know that never will happen because its old news and nobody cares about it. It gives me the feeling that everything is waiting for its death.
The world of mass media goes fast. At the same moment that we look at the street with the television we realize that the owner bought already a new version of it. From that moment the new version is waiting until it will be dropped at the street.
And so the cycle goes on.
The word of mass media goes fast. It makes us believe and manipulates us. It decides for us how we see the world. The cover of this book is very strong because the message is clear. It is all about being and being new.
