Seven Types of Ambiguity

"There is ambiguity in most human relationships. Like a sequence of words, a relationship can be open to different interpretations. And when two people have differing views, not merely of the state of their relationship, but of its very nature, it can affect the entire course of their lives."

A compelling novel by Eliot Perlman.

"The culture of every man for himself has so triumphed that any concern for the common good is referred to a psychiatrist. Emotionally we live in the darkness of the shadows of ourselves" and '"This is the single greatest achievement of the last twenty-five years … the enslavement of millions of people under the aegis of globalisation … It is a cold and brutish age'" are two of Alex's (the psychiatrist) stinging indictments of the commercialisation of our age. I tend to agree with him. (And I hold a Commerce degree :p)
