Drawing on the themes explored in The Wizard of the Kremlin, The Engineers of Chaos and The Hour of the Predators, he reflected on the major transformations reshaping the exercise of power today.
In a world shaped by constant acceleration — of information, public reactions and geopolitical tensions — one thing is clear: speed, attention and the ability to shape perceptions have become central levers of power.

Giuliano da Empoli notably discussed:

• the erosion of long-term thinking and nuance in favor of immediacy
• the growing influence of technology platforms on public debate
• a more fragmented, polarized and unpredictable international environment
• the rise of new forms of influence, from narrative manipulation and attention capture to the brutalization of public debate

These transformations raise direct questions for democracies, institutions and large organizations: how can they preserve spaces for stability, discernment and reflection?

A rich and stimulating discussion, fully aligned with the ambition of TANGRAM Talks: to step back and shed light on the major forces reshaping our time.
