Description
Book Synopsis
For Marc Augé, best-selling author of Non-Places, the prevailing idea of "the Future" rests on our present fears of the contemporary world. It is to the future that we look for redemption and progress; but it is also where we project our personal and apocalyptic anxieties. By questioning notions of certainty, truth, and totality, Augé finds ways to separate the future from our eternal, terrified present and liberates the mind to allow it to conceptualize our possible futures afresh.Review Quotes
Praise for Marc Augé's Non-Places "Unsettling, elegantly written and illuminating: essential reading."
--PD Smith, Guardian "A timely and original book."
