Abstract

This is a critical review of Não-coisas: Reviravoltas do mundo da vida a recent book by philosopher Byung-Chul Han. We intend to present a panel in which the main features of the work will be shown. From the concept of “non-things” (Undinge), this one confessedly appropriated from Vilém Flusser, there are indications of how our world is increasingly experienced as being emptied of meaning. The thesis is that computing, by digitizing reality, makes it unreal. In view of this, themes such as the world of life, artificial intelligence, and the digital come into consideration in light of the concept of non-things.
