Summary: Born Liquid is the last work by the great sociologist and social theorist Zygmunt Bauman, whose analyses of liquid modernity changed the way we think about our world today. At the time of his death, Bauman was working on this short book, a conversation with the Italian journalist Thomas Leoncini, exactly sixty years his junior. In the exchange, Bauman considers the world of those born after the early 1980s, the individuals who were born liquid and feel at home in a society of constant flux. The transformation of the body, tattoos, cosmetic surgery, hipsters, aggression, bullying, the internet, gender transitions and changing sexual preferences are all analysed with characteristic brilliance in this concise and topical book.
