Speaking with a resentful young person about technological and other revolutions (Milontas m´ enan aganaktismeno neo gia epanastaseis - technologikes, DOES GREECE NEED A REVOLUTION? The book: Yes - is the answer given by this book. But do not think of molotof cocktails, barricades and armed fighting. The revolution we need is peaceful and bloodless - thus so difficult. All our main problems: corruption, lack of competitiveness, bureaucracy, lack of transparency, mismanagement, waste, fraud, daily suffering, could be solved by the universal application of technology. Speaking with a resentful young person, Nikos Dimou proves that the first revolution needed is technological. It also implies willingness and expertise, which are difficult to come across as the key positions are occupied by conservative, dormant and digitally illiterate technophobes. Beyond that, in a lively and sometimes sharp dialogue, the ways in which technology enhances, beautifies and makes our lives easier unfold. Born 1935, Athens, Greece. Graduated from Athens College, (a Greek-American school) 1954. Parallel studies in Athens of French language and literature. 1954-1960 studied Philosophy (major), Psychology and English Literature (minors), in Munich, Germany (Munich University). Published his doctor´s thesis (on philosophical scepticism) in Greece, 25 years later. He published his first book (poetry) in 1953. There are now sixty titles of his, most still in print. Essays, short prose, satire, philosophy, poetry, and political theory. Although he never wrote a novel, his books have sold well - they have been reprinted many times. Some have become best sellers. Especially his collection of aphorisms: «On the Unhappiness of being Greek» (30 printings). His latest books include an anthology from his work ´´50 years Nikos Dimou´´, his full autobiography ´´My Ways´´ (´´Oi Dromoi mou´´) and a selection from his essays and political writings ´´Exercises in Freedom´´ (´´Askiseis Eleftherias´´). Although he thinks his most important task is writing books, he has also worked in the media for over thirty years.For his overall literary and philosophical work he also received the ´´Mitropoulos´´ medal. He is quadrilingual (Greek, English, French, German) and has published translations of poetry and prose from all these languages - plus Latin and Ancient Greek. He never recognises his thoughts in another tongue - so his work has been mainly translated into languages he does not speak (Italian, Spanish, Bulgarian and Turkish). But his evergreen best-seller ´´On the Unhappiness of being Greek´´ (1975 to 2012, 31 printings in Greece) has been translated into many languages (German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, Bulgarian, Turkish and Chinese) and is selling very well all over the world. ePUB, 22.05.2013.
