Liquid Modern' is a society in which the conditions under which its members act change faster than it takes the ways of acting to consolidate into habits and routines. Liquid life, just like liquid modern society, cannot keep its shape or stay on course for long. Among the arts of liquid modern living and the skills needed to practice them, getting rid of things takes precedence over their acquisitions.
