A look at how the American Dream of single-family homes, white picket fences and two-car garages became a lonely, overpriced nightmare, and how new trends in housing can help us live better.
What The Reviewers Say
... one of those invaluable books that offer a new, revelatory window on familiar problems.
What Brave New Home does in terms of elucidating possibilities for alternative modes of housing or even thinking about housing is often energizing. It is hard to struggle against our present when we cannot imagine the future, and Brave New Home certainly expands our horizons for how we could live. Some of these alternatives are framed by exciting questions.
Lind tackles her subject with precision, on-the-ground reporting, and theoretical rigor.
... detailed and optimistic.
