Mythomania

This explores the intertwining of ancient myths with modern celebrity and consumerist culture, revealing the absurdity and occasional insanity of contemporary society, economy, and politics. Despite a respect for scientific reason, humans are still intrigued by myths, with products like laptops and smartphones referencing the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden, TV reality shows featuring classical nymphs, and novels featuring mythical creatures. This also explores the political realm, with terrorists using myth to martyr themselves. The author argues that myths should now serve as a guide for our future, as society continues to change and evolve.
