Meer over het boek

Exploring the paradox of body transformation and utopian ideals, this comprehensive study delves into practices like doping, bodybuilding, and cosmetic surgery, alongside the impact of social media and fashion modeling. It examines how these desires for improvement can lead to dystopian outcomes, highlighting a cultural tendency to view the body as inadequate. By analyzing the accessibility of body modification techniques, the work reveals the inherent utopianism in the belief that bodies can be entirely controlled and perfected.
