L'home dalt del pont

Before cryptocurrencies or Zoom meetings, a technological advance had already abolished the distances between territories: from the Hiroshima atomic bomb, a single button can endanger all living beings on Earth. This is what the diary that the thinker Günther Anders wrote when he traveled to Japan, thirteen years after someone pushed the button, is about: how technology makes humans irresponsible because they cannot and do not want to imagine the consequences of their actions. 'The man on top of the bridge' is not a text of philosophy but a diary. It contains the sensitivity of the watching eye, the heat of Japanese summer nights. And the experience of those who survived the bomb and radiation.
