Summary: Digital technology has revolutionized connectivity, but it has also overcome spatial obstacles that used to shield people from subjugating gazes and unlimited exercise of power. The home as an auratic space is dead, and this alienation has hindered our democratic capacities and created complex crises. The Death of Home aims to intellectually engage readers via enhancing spatial literacy to critically confront today’s crises.Summary: Digital technology has revolutionized connectivity, but it has also overwhelmed spatial boundaries that used to shield people from subjugating gazes and unlimited exercise of power.
