"Brought to you by Penguin. An electrifying, thought-provoking exploration of how the digital era is reshaping our world, by bestselling, Women's Prize-winning writer Naomi Alderman From the award-winning, bestselling author of The Power What’s the most useful thing you could know about your own life? In this era-defining book, developed from her ground-breaking Radio 4 essay series, Naomi Alderman turns her boundless curiosity and incisive thinking to a question that affects us all – how do we understand, and navigate, the epoch we’re living through? She calls this epoch the Information Crisis. The internet has flooded us with more knowledge, opinions, ideas, opportunities, as well as verbal attacks and misinformation than ever before. It lets us learn more quickly and also spread falsehood more quickly, it brings us together and also divides us in new ways, it is now the lens through which we perceive and understand the world. There is no going back. But we have been here before. In fact, this is humanity's third information crisis. The first, the invention of writing 5,000 years ago and the second, the invention of the printing press, 600 years ago, drastically reshaped our perceptions, interactions and mental landscapes in ways that feel acutely familiar. Overwhelmed by information, people become afraid and angry, unsettled and distressed as well as more knowledgeable, educated and curious. By looking at those previous information crises, both the turmoil and the advances, Alderman asks what we can learn from the past to better understand, and navigate, our present and our future. Drawing on the work of philosophers and historians, Don’t Burn Anyone at the Stake Today explores how new technology opens up new ways of being and helps us chart a way forward (once again), through the turbulent seas of information overload. 'Alderman is one of our most surprising and delightful public intellectuals, and this book grapples wonderfully with our current schisms and their historical precedents' JON RONSON © Naomi Alderman 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025"

[Italian] - Ragazze elettriche

"Naomi Alderman immagina un mondo dominato dalle donne, in cui gli uomini sono ridotti in semischiavitù. Le ragazze adolescenti hanno infatti sviluppato una sorta di energia elettrica capace di fulminare chiunque cerchi di molestarle. Quattro personaggi ci guidano tra i diversi scenari sociali, politici, mediatici e confessionali che il rivoluzionario ribaltamento delle gerarchie e dei rapporti di genere ha innescato, raccontandoci come la diffusione della scintilla del potere femminile sia rapidamente degenerata nella depravazione. Le donne ora distruggono, violentano, seviziano e uccidono proprio come prima di loro avevano fatto gli uomini. Questa è l'atroce verità. L'universo distopico di Alderman, infatti, cresce e si sviluppa attorno ad una questione attualissima e disturbante: perché le persone, al di là del sesso e della razza, abusano del potere?"

[Italian] - Disobbedienza

"Ronit, figlia di un rabbino, cresce all'ombra dell'universo claustrofobico e insieme rassicurante di una comunità ebraica ortodossa, i cui tempi sono scanditi dalle regole del rapporto con Dio e la Sinagoga. Insofferente a quel mondo ultra-ortodosso, se ne distacca in nome di una trasgressione che le permette di recuperare un'identità e una diversità. Da un sobborgo ebraico londinese allo sconcertante paradiso di libertà e autoaffermazione di Manhattan, da cui torna per la morte del padre, la protagonista compie un viaggio à rebours ricco di scoperte esilaranti ma anche molto dolorose. Figlia lei stessa di un rabbino londinese, Naomi Alderman con questo suo primo romanzo pubblicato per la prima volta in Italia nel 2007 ha conquistato il pubblico, la critica e i prestigiosi premi Orange Award for New Writers 2006 e Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award 2007."
