Non-Places: An Introduction to SupermodernityBy: Marc Augé 
Lowest New Price: $10.47List Price: $17.95 Description: A provocative study of the 'non-space' which defines our age's love for excess of information and space. 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 Augé calls “non-space” results in a profound alteration of awareness: something we perceive, but only in a partial and incoherent manner. Augé 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.
