It seems a cliche to say that we live in pornographic times. But Nadir Lahiji probed beyond this cliche and has given us a concrete assessment of what the descent into pornography has cost us as a society. As he shows with his typical lucidity and profundity, the pornography of our age has eliminated the very space in which we could come together. Lahiji has written a stunning account of what the pornographic invasion has cost us. Todd McGowan, University of Vermont, USA More than a critique, Nadir Lahiji's book is a fierce condemnation of contemporary architecture, not only for being wholly complicit with the regime of images that characterizes our current age-a regime that Alain Badiou has identified as essentially pornographic-but for providing its structural support. Alex Ling, Western Sydney University, Australia
