In Lifeworld Inc., world-renowned social theorist Nigel Thrift presents his writings on the current state of Western economies and societies. He points to four developments which, taken together, are changing how Western economies and societies respond and are reproduced:
- new forms of information technology
- the 'security-entertainment complex'
- new forms of affective engineering
- the 'densification' of place.
This is a significant and critical new text from one of our leading social scientists.
