Non-things

The new book by the world's most widely read living philosopher.

We no longer inhabit the earth and the sky, but Google Earth and the cloud. Information dominates our living environment, and palpable things increasingly take a back seat. The world as an information sphere overlaps with the world as a constellation of things, and this transition substantially modifies our perception of and relationship with the world. Byung-Chul Han brilliantly analyzes this drift, defends the magic of things, and reflects on what is lost in the noise of information.
