This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel.

Mike Judge¿s satire depicts the shortcomings of a system subject to multiple radical changes such as individualization and the flexibilization of labor. These changes have a direct effect on the postmodern individual: They cause disorientation and drift, social disembedding, and altering human relationships in general.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch. …
