A journey “through the seven layers of operation of the Internet”. The courage of nuance , Jean Birnbaum In the era of social networks, the intellectual media field has become a battlefield where anything goes, where extremes oppose each other and where many think they are always right. Far from reflecting a plurality of opinions, these divisions are seen as binary thoughts, which reject what contradicts them and accept what confirms them. In this “hubbub of evidence”, Jean Birnbaum sees nuance as a weapon. By bringing together Albert Camus, George Orwell, Hannah Arendt, and Roland Barthes, the author reminds us that a nuanced position is not naive or lukewarm, it is the most courageous one there is.
