A provocative study of the 'non-space' which defines our age's love for excess of information and space
MARC AUGE is Director of Studies at the Ecole des hautes etudes en sciences sociales in Paris. He is the author of many books, including The Meaning of Illness, A Sense for the Other: The Timelessness and Relevance of Anthropology, The War of Dreams: Studies in Ethno Fiction, and In the Metro.
"Shopping malls, motorways, airport lounges - we are all familiar with these curious spaces which are both everywhere and nowhere. But only now do we have a coherent analysis of their far-reaching effects on public and private experience. Marc Auge has become their anthropologist, and has written a timely and original book." Patrick Wright, author of The Village That Died for England "Unsettling, elegantly written and illuminating: essential reading for anyone seeking to understand our supermodern condition." The Guardian
