Synopsis
This title argues that society's priorities, its notions of value, are still informed by our relationship with physical objects, even though we have entered an age characterized by technological abstraction. The book examines how modern life is saturated and defined by things. The authors use a mix of text and photography to describe the way in which two institutions, the department store and the museum, are central to the story of society's access to material things.
