"Unsettling, elegantly written and illuminating: essential reading for anyone seeking to understand our supermodern condition."-PD Smith, Guardian "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 AugΓ© has become their anthropologist, and has written a timely and original book."-Patrick Wright "It is indeed very seldom that one finds it difficult to put down a book because of the intellectual excitement it generates.

Synopsis
An ever-increasing proportion of our lives is spent in supermarkets, airports and hotels, on motorways or in front of TVs, computers and cash machines. This invasion of the world by what Marc AugΓ© calls "non-space" results in a profound alteration of awareness: something we perceive, but only in a partial and incoherent manner. AugΓ© uses the concept of "supermodernity" to describe a situation of excessive information and excessive space. In this fascinating essay he seeks to establish an intellectual armature for an anthropology of supermodernity., An ever-increasing proportion of our lives is spent in supermarkets, airports and hotels, on motorways or in front of TVs, computers and cash machines. This invasion of the world by what Marc Aug calls "non-space" results in a profound alteration of awareness: something we perceive, but only in a partial and incoherent manner. Aug uses the concept of "supermodernity" to describe a situation of excessive information and excessive space. In this fascinating essay he seeks to establish an intellectual armature for an anthropology of supermodernity., A provocative study of the 'non-space' which defines our age's love for excess of information and space.
