Development has come to mean doing away with friction so that the distance between the decision to act and the action itself is less and less (as in the currency markets and in cyberspace). What is the cost to humankind of this development? Are speed and efficiency everything? Do we not need friction as challenge to creativity? Sweden's Nordal Akerman asks some hard questions in this timely look at modern life.
