"Nati liquidi" has been on the [Italian newspaper] Corriere della Sera's bestseller list, and rights deals have been made in Germany, Spain, Poland, Portugal, Brazil, USA, UK, Korea, Greece and others. Written with journalist Thomas Leoncini, the book follows a group of people born in the 1980s who lack stability in their lives today; the work, according to the publisher, zeroes in on various aspects of what Bauman thought were interesting aspects of this generation, from their need for body transformations (through plastic surgery and tattoos) to the ways they build relationships on social networks.
