  • A brilliant new book by Zygmunt Bauman, one of the most original and influential social thinkers writing today.

  • Bauman examines how, in our liquid modern society, individuals are required to choose their own lives and give meaning and purpose to them.

  • Bauman anaylzes the conditions under which our designs-for-life are chosen, of the constraints that might be imposed on their choice and of the interplay of design, accident and character that shape their implementation.


  • As with all of Bauman’s books, this is beautifully and engagingly written and will appeal to students and scholars across the social sciences.
