Konrad Becker Tactical Reality Dictionary
<book> Edition Selene
ISBN 3-85266-194-3
Publishing a collection of essays under the disguise of a dictionary
is hardly a novelty, but it's not simple to present it with agile and
comprehensive 'definitions' of a popular yet still changing terminology,
succeeding in making a brief but complete excursus of the tactical use
of media, as it's been done here. It's a 'dictionary', brief and striking,
which talks about history, as in the essay about the invisible microwave
ray directed against the embassy of the United States in Moscow in 1952,
with heavy consequences for many employees ('Microwave Discommunicaton'),
and about psychology, as in the essay about the U.S. Air Force experiments
where some soldiers were hypnotized and forced to attack a senior officer
('Embedded Commands'). The terms explained are seventytwo, sorted in
a tactical order, and cast a light on as many relatively obscure facets
of social and political media culture and their manipulative and propagandistic
use by governments and organizations responsible for the manipulation
of opinions. In a style both tight and rich of informations, a disquieting
scenery emerges: we are systematically overwhelmed by an unmanageable
flow of informations which dangerously exposes us to sophisticated techniques
of organization of the public conscience. A 'Perception management',
as it is defined in the glossary, which we can successfully identify
and fight. from:Neural.it
