In these bright essays, written in the period from 1973 to 1976, Umberto Eco explores American culture, its main features and its influence both on the culture of the nearest neighboring countries and on the European cultural matrix. Museums and art galleries, ghost cities and entertainment parks, mystical prophecies and medieval knowledge, the space of advertising and cinema, religion and politics, psychology and sociology.
