Overabundance/too much everywhere

Today, wherever one turns, excess is unavoidable. You might be driving your car or watching TV, eating your lunch or sunbathing on the beach, attending a conference or sipping a coffee at the bar, on a plane or buying your groceries, abundance inevitably haunts you. Far more dramatic and disturbing is that such an excess – in the economy and society, in the media and technology, in the environment and at home – is as overwhelming as it is unrelenting. The ever-increasing quantity of commodities matches the ever-expanding sprawl of commercial outlets, and standing in queues (at the box-office or the restaurant) is a commonplace for all of us. Day in and day our daily lives – whether at work or on our "free" time – we are suffocated by fast-paced experiences in crowded spaces. With an entertaining style, OVERABUNDANCE/TOO MUCH EVERYWHERE narrates this world with an (inevitable!) abundance of data, examples and anecdotes while also suggesting some possible exit-strategies. At the end of the book, a short survival manual offers the opportunity to the reader to contemplate the possibility that while standing still may not be a solution it may be the first step to salvation.
