Abstract

The present text is a reply to the polemic by Adam Fitas with the essay A Reader-Errant (see Ethos 29:4(116) (2016); Ethos 30:1(117) (2017)). The author explains that it was not her intention to deprecate literary fiction, rather, she intended to point to the harmful effects of being addicted to it. The author also expounds her thesis that new addictions, such as Internet addiction, which are considered as resulting from the civilization based on the advances of technology, in fact have the same source as the various forms of addiction known for ages, namely the same weaknesses of the human nature.

Keywords:

literary fiction, addiction, modern civilization, human nature
