Oggi viviamo in una società in cui false "realtà" vengono fabbricate dai media, dai governi, dalle grandi corporazioni, da gruppi religiosi e gruppi politici. Pseudo-realtà fabbricate da persone molto sofisticate che usano congegni molto sofisticati. Queste persone hanno un potere sorprendente: quello di creare interi universi, universi della mente. Il bombardamento di pseudo-realtà comincia a produrre molto rapidamente esseri umani inautentici. La civiltà moderna ha creato un universo artificiale che ricopre interamente il mondo reale, si é cosi formato un "mondo parallelo" fatto di relazioni umane automatiche, un mondo in cui tutto è ormai stato previsto per la soddisfazione sempre più completa d'ogni sorta di falsi bisogni. Il mondo reale si è man mano coperto di un velo d'illusioni. L'uomo moderno scivola verso una cieca sottomissione ai fini elaborati da una collettività cui egli si affida senza il minimo ritegno. L'uomo, strada facendo, ha dimenticato se stesso; ecco inquadrato il problema che riguarda la sopravvivenza della civiltà contemporanea. Per risolverlo, l'uomo deve certamente ritrovare il senso della propria esistenza e il sentiero della coscienza.
