Description
Liquid life is a precarious existence in our contemporary society. Characterised by constant uncertainty and a lack of stability, it is marked by fears of missing out and being left behind. In this new book, Zygmunt Bauman explores the challenges of living in a liquid-modern world, where getting rid of things takes precedence over acquiring them. He unravels the complexities of life in such a society, tracing the contradictions that underpin it. Through his analysis, Bauman sheds light on the skills and arts needed to navigate this uncertain landscape, offering insights into the nature of modern existence.
