Bergur Ebbi
2017
218 pages
Non-Fiction
Current Affairs

Lay down your cards before you explode. You don’t need to explode. Explosions are meant to start fires, but it’s already burning. Enjoy burning. Enjoy burning at room temperature.

Room Temperature is a precise and pressing dissection of our modern world that tackles the themes of social media, connectivity, terrorism, data leaks and other issues that are drastically changing our identity whether we know it or not. Is it possible that despite the constant catering to the individual we are all becoming a big collective? That the more information driven and transparent the world seems, the more of an enigma the sources of power have become?

 

Reviews

“This is the book that was needed, a young guide to the modernity that is in the making ... an amusing writer, funny, genuine, sharp and full of enthusiasm of the monster that mankind is currently creating. He produces bittersweet tales of his own life and of tragic yet funny times. ”
