A collection of essays by the Bulgarian historian Maria Todorova (known for Imaginary Balkans), compiled especially for the 20th Century Library. Indispensable for understanding post-communist transitions, culture of memory and Balkan studies.
Douglas Coupland, whose cult book "Generation X" was a "McLuhanian" representation of culture in fictional form, has written a concise biography of the media theorist that interprets the life and work of the man he deals with from the inside.
Every city has its own rhythm, each is recognizable and unique in some way, each is comfortable for its residents and attractive to guests for some reason.

Basing his book on research, the author explains how the network generation is shaping the world, why it is important to understand it, and how to "harvest" the great benefits it can provide.
