In this
remarkable and often dazzling book, Paul Carter explores the conditions for sociability
in a globalized future. He argues that we make many assumptions about communication
but overlook barriers to understanding between strangers as well as the importance
of improvisation in overcoming these obstacles to meeting, offering novel ways of
presenting the philosophical dimensions of waiting, meeting, and non-meeting.
