To be modern is to find ourselves in an environment that promises us adventure, power, joy, growth, transformation of ourselves and our world – and at the same time, that threatens to destroy everything we have, everything we know, everything we are… To be modern is to be part of a universe in which, as Marx said, “all that is solid melts into air”.
Marshall Berman (1982) All That Is Solid Melts Into Air: The Experience of Modernity, London: Verso, p15
