Digital technology has revolutionized connectivity, but it has also overwhelmed spatial boundaries that used to shield people from subjugating gazes and unlimited exercise of power. The home as an auratic space is dead, and this alienation has hindered our social capacities creating complex political and sociopsychological crises. The Death of Home aims to intellectually engage readers through enhancing spatial literacy to critically confront today's oppressive regimes of spatial production.
