'Liquid life is the kind of life commonly lived in our contemporary, liquid-modern society. Liquid life cannot stay on course, as liquid-modern society cannot keep its shape for long. Liquid life is a precarious life, lived under conditions of constant uncertainty. The most acute and stubborn worries that haunt this liquid life are the fears of being caught napping, of failing to catch up with fast moving events, of overlooking the use by dates and being saddled with worthless possessions, of missing the moment calling for a change of tack and being left behind. Liquid life is also shot through by a contradiction: it ought to be a (possibly unending) series of new beginnings, yet precisely for that reason it is full of worries about swift and painless endings, without which new beginnings would be unthinkable. Among the arts of liquid-modern living and the skills needed to practice them, getting rid of things takes precedence over their acquisition. This and other challenges of life in a liquid-modern society are traced and unravelled in the successive chapters of this new book by one of the most brilliant and original social thinkers of our time. A new book by one of the most original and brilliant social thinkers of our time. Liquid Life is the kind of life commonly lived in our contemporary, liquid-modern society - it cannot keep its shape for long and is a precarious life, lived under conditions of constant uncertainty; the most acute and stubborn worries that haunt this liquid life are the fears of being caught napping, of failing to catch up with fast moving events, of overlooking the use by dates and being saddled with worthless possessions, of missing the moment calling for a change of tack and being left behind; this work extends and develops some of the key themes in other Bauman titles, namely what it is like to live in a time of liquid modernity, identity, culture and consumerism.

You may know me best as Meredith Nic Essus, princess of Faerie. Or perhaps as Merry Gentry, private investigator with Grey's Detective Agency in Los Angeles. In the Fey and mortal realms alike, my life is the stuff of royal intrigue and celebrity drama. Among my own kind, I have confronted horrendous enemies, endured my noble kin's treachery and malevolence, and honored my duty to conceive a royal heir ...all for the right to claim the throne. But I have now turned my back on court and crown, and chosen exile in the human world - which is proving to be just as dangerous and, unless I keep my wits about me, quite possibly as deadly as the world of the Fey...
