Liquid Love

Liquid Love explores the struggles of those living in our "liquid modern" society, lacking permanent bonds that allow for self-definition and self-assertion. Tying looser bonds with others becomes crucial, but with the knowledge that these bonds may not last. Bauman delves into the insecurity that this lack of permanence creates, and the conflicting desires to tighten and keep these bonds loose. An important read for those interested in the changing nature of human relationships.
