  Why do so many institutions seem stuck in the past? Why do so many relationships break down? How should the individual act when faced with a mass of conflicting information and values? This book attempts to provide radical answers to these questions, addressing the crises facing the planet at the end of the century. It shows that freedom and interdependence are set on a collision course. Basing its argument around the notion of connexity , it argues that the only way out of the impasse is to break down the rigid sense of ourselves as isolated units, and recognize the webs of mutual responsibility in which we live.
