Summary:
De la ville au technocosme n'est pas un essai ordinaire. C'est fort de son expérience et de ses lectures que l'auteur s'est plongé dans ce monde, le nôtre, constamment renouvelé par la technologie. En interrogeant ce nouvel environnement - un assemblage de réseaux, de fonctions et de lieux qui équipent notre existence et servent notre quête de performance -, il nous propose de réfléchir à l'impact de la technicité croissante de nos existences. Vers quoi allons-nous ? est-ce que cette artificialisation du réel préfigure la fin du genre humain ? Ni idolâtre ni catastrophiste, Xavier Bonnaud nous prévient de la menace majeure de cette évolution techniciste : la capitulation définitive, donc sans retour possible, de l'humain. Faut-il voir dans l'avènement de ce technocosme une métaphore du " meilleur des mondes " ?

Summary:
Lefebvre’s massive body of work has generated two main schools of thought: one that is political economic, and another that is more culturally oriented and poststructuralist in tone. Space, Difference, and Everyday Life merges these two schools of thought into a unified Lefebvrian approach to contemporary urban issues and the nature of our spatialized social structures.
