From Hong Kong, where   people actually live in self-contained hotels, to Atlanta's Olympic Village, which   seems to inadvertently commemorate a sort of corporate universalism, to Japan, where   in the midst of alien surfaces his apartment building is called \"The Memphis,\" Iyer   ponders what the word \"home\" can possibly mean in a world whose face is blurred by   its cultural fusion and its alarmingly rapid rate of change.","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43412766392575,"sku":"9780679776116","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780679776116_s600x595.jpg?v=1775597708","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780679776116","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
