EN EL ENJAMBRE

In his essay *In the Swarm*, Byung-Chul Han examines how the digital revolution has transformed the structure of society and the essence of human relationships. He introduces the concept of the digital swarm, a mass composed of isolated individuals who, unlike traditional crowds, lack a collective soul and the capacity for coordinated political action. Han argues that hypercommunication destroys the respect and distance necessary for public discourse, replacing them with incessant noise and volatile phenomena like shitstorms. This transition marks the shift from a biopolitical era to one of digital psychopolitics, where power intervenes directly in unconscious psychic processes. Finally, the text warns of the loss of otherness and the depth of thought, as the digital world prioritizes transparency and performance over truth and quiet reflection.
