In recent years, Alain Finkielkraut has given his opinion on a variety of topics in society, such as the Internet in "The Internet, The Troubling Ecstasy" (2001) ("Internet, l'inquiétante extase"). In the book "Present Imperfect" (2002) ("L'Imparfait du présent"), akin to a personal diary, he expresses his thoughts about various events in the world (especially the events of 11 September 2001).
