What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

In an era of accelerating technological change, how do we define progress? The fourth industrial revolution has led to invention and innovation happening faster than our ability to adapt and adjust. Rochlin combines Critical Theory, business frameworks, economics, and philosophy to explore the forces shaping our modern world and the 21st century society.
Part essay, part philosophy, part art project, and part personal journey, this short monograph explores concepts such as commodity fetishism, business ethics, and disruption through a Critical Theory lens, relying on the writings of Walter Benjamin and others. Removing notions of modernity from a strictly linear and historical narrative, he challenges how we define progress; how we measure it; and most importantly who we should allow to control it. Ultimately, it is a call to arms for a more balanced and responsible consideration of both the benefits and the harm of unleashing innovation.
