Beginning in Los Angeles International Airport, where town life -- shops, services, sociability -- is available without a town, Pico Iyer takes us on a tour of the transnational village our world has become. From Hong Kong, where people actually live in self-contained hotels, to Atlanta's Olympic Village, which seems to interpret universalism in a corporate more than a truly human way, to Japan, where in the midst of alien surfaces his apartment building is called "The Memphis", Iyer ponders what the word "home" can possibly mean in a world whose face is blurred by its cultural fusion and its alarmingly rapid rate of change.
