Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh says we’ve become ‘dumbed-down machines’

Celebrated Scottish author Irvine Welsh, widely known for his seminal work “Trainspotting,” has voiced a critical assessment of modern society, stating his belief that individuals have devolved into “dumbed-down machines.” This perspective from Welsh coincides with the announcement of his latest literary project, a book titled “Men in Love.” The acclaimed writer indicated that the motivation behind crafting “Men in Love,” which he describes as a sequel, arises from his perception that the world today is profoundly “full of hate.” This new publication appears to be a direct artistic response to the current societal climate.
