Faced with the break neck speed of technology, the suburbanization of our daily lives and the extreme but poignant polarization of our society, we are compelled to return to the capsules of our vehicles, our architectural cocoons and our urban enclaves, as exemplified by malls, gated communities and amusement parks. The process of capsularization is playing out against a threatening background of demographic-environmental catastrophe and of a militarization of the planet. In this book, the author, who is a cultural philosopher paints a picture of a socitey dominated by fear, exclusion and simulation, while studying the changing significance of the city in this 'derailed' and 'untenable' world.
