COPERNICUS GOES TO SUBURBIA Space, Sprawl, Society, and the Limits of Modern Thought |
 |
This book in progress explores how perceptual-cognitive biases in modern modes of thought have led to a variety of troubling patterns in American culture: suburban sprawl, urban blight, various psychological anomalies, oversized government, and many more. We are an object-based culture, the book argues, and we have designed against space-based modes of engagement which would shape our lives and culture in very different, and frequently more whole, ways. "Copernicus Goes to Suburbia" is also a lecture presentation which has been presented to numerous academic, professional, and public audiences. <click on image for expanded description |
