Domusweb book review: The Public Private House

Fears of the future and a longing for reliably endangered communities, nationalistic tendencies grow or break. In addition one sets itself a rapid change of the working world. From an industrial becomes a digitized service company. The consequences are quite similar to those of the 20th century.
