How is the "Kasselakis phenomenon" explained? What is the reason for the frenzy that has prevailed in the media, social media, and every corner of the country regarding Stefanos Kasselakis? Is it the result of a political conspiracy or the charisma of a new and untainted figure? Is this a communication Blitzkrieg? Is it an extreme consequence of the crisis of Western democracies and meta-democracy? How does it relate to the mutations of political parties across Europe and the USA? Does it represent the messianic aspect of post-politics?

This book initially presents Kasselakis' journey and the components that construct his persona, i.e., his image in the public sphere. The explanation of the "Kasselakis phenomenon" is based on the analysis of the transformations of modern democracy, new communication tools, the acceleration of political time, and the internal mutations of SYRIZA. In this context, Kasselakis emerges as the Messiah who will cure the "left melancholy" and restore SYRIZA as a governing force.
