“Niermann exhibits an unrestrained appetite for intellectual speculation. His subject is the world, and how the sum of all our interactions creates a never-ending turbulence (of values). With a rare balance between heartlessness and generosity, he extrapolates embryonic symptoms to reveal systemic changes and new realities of a world that we have hesitated to explore with the same innocent yet ironclad lucidity.”

“If individuals are not only thought of as centers of their own world but also act as such, it forces a radically new understanding of the social. Examining such diverse fields as geopolitics, identity politics, housing, welfare, and love, The Monadic Age explains how governance and coexistence are nonetheless possible.”
