These may confirm the general tendency towards new forms of connected
solitude, in which we work, travel and live alone, yet feel sociable
mainly by means of technology. Alternatively, they may help to create

In Politics of the Everyday, Ezio Manzini discusses examples of social
innovation that show how, even in these difficult times, a better kind
of society is possible. By bringing autonomy and collaboration together,
it is possible to develop new forms of design intelligence, for our own
good, for the good of the communities we are part of, and for society as
a whole.
