This book contrasts two imaginings of 1960s London: the excess and comic vacuousness of Swinging London, and the radical politics generated by the city's counter-culture. These disparate perspectives combine to form a shared imagination associated with a new understanding of nature, which differently positioned humanity and technology. A study of this transformation allows for a new understanding of the dynamics of post-war London's re-emergence as a cultural capital.
