The companion book to The Design Museum's exhibition exploring the anxiety and optimism inherent in contemporary design.
The book features installations by designers whose work explores the anxieties around issues like technological change, automation, privacy and the environment including OMA, Hussein Chalayan and Rural Urban Framework.
One of the most notable works is by the Spanish architect Andrés Jaque whose film, Intimate Strangers, charts the phenomenal growth of grindr and reveals how the app is used by police in authoritarian regimes to track down and arrest gay people.
A thought-provoking read for those interested in design.
