Unknown: Mostri mitologici, alieni e le nostre ossessioni per l'inspiegabile

Rate this book
In un mondo in cui le spiegazioni scientifiche dei fenomeni sono via via più accessibili, la fascinazione per l'irrazionale Atlantide, gli alieni, la Terra Piatta, il mostro di Loch Ness... Sono tutte realtà non dimostrate, eppure sempre più gente ne vuole sapere di più. Perché? Con lo stesso acume e la stessa curiosità che l'ha portato a scrivere Ghostland, Dickey intraprende questo viaggio attraverso i simboli delle più incomprensibili teorie, fino a capire cosa spinga l'essere umano a inventarne continuamente di il tentativo di trovare un senso a un mondo pieno di meraviglia.
