"At a time of rapid technological change, increasing economic inequality, and looming climate catastrophe, our usual concepts and categories no longer seem adequate. When our intuitions and experiences outrun our understanding, we can only turn to aesthetics. This volume examines, from a variety of perspectives, the new urgency of aesthetic speculation in architecture, in the arts more generally, and indeed in everyday life."
--Steven Shaviro, DeRoy Professor of English, Wayne State University
"Fashioning a provocative cultural Velcro that locks into place the politics of awareness, this book contains writing by some of our most insightful thinkers and innovators. It's great reading for anyone who might once have asked if the mouse and mouse trap are one and the same object."
--Charles Ray, Artist
