Reseña del libro "Basil Has Thoughts (en Inglés)"
Basil has thoughts about modern media. Unfortunately for humans, he has been paying attention.Newspapers. Radio. Television. Facebook. Instagram. X. Snapchat. TikTok. YouTube. Podcasts.Humans have created more ways to communicate than ever before. They have also found more ways to argue with strangers, photograph their dinner, shout instructions at professional athletes, lose entire evenings to their phones, and watch other humans doing things they could quite easily do themselves.Basil has questions.Why must food be photographed before anyone is allowed to eat it? Why does My Human announce, "We won," after watching a sporting event from the sofa? Why do teenagers send photographs to people sitting in the same room? Why would anyone watch a video explaining cat behaviour when an actual cat is available for consultation?And why does everybody become an expert the moment they go online?In Basil Has Thoughts: On Media, one highly judgmental cat examines the evolution of media, from newspapers and radio to social networks, smartphones, streaming, and twenty-four-hour news.Each short chapter delivers another calm, cutting assessment of modern technology and the increasingly strange relationship between humans and their screens.Dry, sarcastic, and uncomfortably accurate, this is a quick and entertaining read for anyone who has ever lost an evening scrolling, joined an unnecessary group chat, or suspected that the household cat understands human behaviour better than humans do.This is the third book in the Basil Has Thoughts series, but it can be enjoyed completely on its own.Perfect for readers who enjoy funny cat books for adults, sarcastic cat humour, social media satire, internet and technology humour, observational comedy, short humorous essays, and books for cat lovers.
