Produktbeschreibung
From a medical-scientific standpoint, madness is characterized as biophysical imbalances and neurological malfunctions that cause symptoms ranging from frenzied behavior to utter insanity. But from a sociological perspective, madness is rooted in multifaceted cultural, socioeconomic, and environmental circumstances that create imbalances; not in the biochemistry of the brain, but in the living conditions of individuals-and societies-that go mad by default.

The mirage of a future that will go on as usual, in spite of the overwhelming odds against it, is the quintessential madness of illusion that is spiraling out of control.
