Value - What Money Can't Buy: A Handbook for Practical Hedonism

An elegiac account of what has recently been lost in the digital apocalypse. But also a steadfastly enthusiastic and optimistic look at what we can regain in a post-viral, more analogue and more thoughtful world.

About the author

In the 1970s, Terence Conran plucked Stephen Bayley from the obscurity of provincial academe to do his good works. One result was The Boilerhouse Project, promoting design in London's V&A, which became the most successful gallery of the eighties. Another result was the influential Design Museum. Stephen has since become one of the world's best-known commentators on design and popular culture.
