Specifications
In a culture that is rapidly growing, free time - without new goals to achieve - condemns people to revert to their basic needs. And the body offers outlets.
Amidst the chaos of artificial pleasure, the essential is rediscovered through the use of drugs, alcohol, violent, criminal, and sexual outbursts, whether in the intimate circle of the family unit or in the society of the media dynasty and the deconstruction of spirit and politics.
Violent and criminal behavior, appearing without just cause, always surfaces in the final stages of a collapsing civilization. What does today's globalized society of moral devaluation, alienation, and violence offer to the individual? What values does it propose to channel their energy into works of ethics and creativity?
When and how will this void of spirit and purpose be overcome? We live without direction, lost in the vastness of nothingness. And when life becomes insignificant, crime - on an individual or collective level - makes it meaningful.
The Killer is a parallel "story - human - beasts" with a common cultural, social, ideological, and "mythical" background. All as one and one as all. A violent yet profoundly emotional and revealing book.
