Tout être humain a ses démons. Ce sont des entités spirituelles qui nous sont à la fois inférieures et supérieures, auxquelles nous obéissons sans le savoir. D'où viennent-ils ? Pourquoi sont-ils si puissants en nous ? Que font-ils de nous et que faisons-nous d'eux ? Peuvent-ils se modifier, voire se transformer par l'expérience de la vie ? J'ai voulu reconnaître les démons qui ont occupé et animé mon esprit, et m'ont différencié sans que j'ai cherché à me singulariser. A chaque fois, j'ai voulu remonter à leur origine, voir comment ils se sont formés, m'ont formé, se sont transformés et m'ont transformé. A la fin de ce livre, j'essaie de reconnaître à quelles erreurs mes démons m'ont conduit, à quelles vérités je demeure fidèle et, désormais capable de dialoguer avec eux, je les assume de façon consciente. A la fois confession et credo, Mes démons est inclassable. Ce livre d'écrivain, d'historien, de penseur s'efforce de reporter sur son auteur lui-même, et sur ses expériences dans le siècle, la pensée complexe dont il a été l'initiateur. On y retrouve le regard du sociologue soucieux des événements présents, celui de l'anthropologue attentif au mythe et à l'imaginaire, et enfin l'auteur de La Méthode, pour qui la complexité est devenue le défi que doit affronter l'esprit humain.

Vance Packard's number-one bestsellers - Hidden Persuaders (1957), Status Seekers (1959), and Waste Makers (1960) - taught the generation of Americans that came of age in the late 1950s and early 1960s about the dangers posed by advertising, social climbing, and planned obsolescence. Like Betty Friedan and William H. Whyte, Jr., Packard (1914- ) is a journalist who played an influential role as the largely complacent 1950s gave way to the tumultuous 1960s. He is also one of the first social critics to foster and to benefit from the newly energized social and political consciousness of this period. Raised on a Pennsylvania farm, shaped by the New Deal at home and the rise of fascism abroad, and trained as a journalist, Packard turned to writing nonfiction books when he faced unemployment in 1956. In addition to his three best-known early works, his later books explore many of the forces shaping America, including invasion of privacy, changing sexual mores, the uprooting of families, and the rise of the ultra rich in the Reagan era. The titles of Packard's most famous works have become a part of our everyday vocabulary. Based in part on interviews with Packard, Daniel Horowitz's intellectual biography focuses on the period during which Packard wrote his major works of social criticism. Horowitz also traces the influence of the writer's early family life and education on his thought. Packard's life illuminates the dilemmas of a freelance social critic without inherited wealth or academic affiliation: the tension between making a living and sustaining independence; the problems posed by a dramatically fluctuating royalty income; and the impact of changing relationships with audience, publishers, intellectuals, academics, and new media such as television and the New Journalism. Packard's career also expands our understanding of how one era helped create the next, underscoring how the adversarial 1960s drew on the mass culture of the previous decade.
