People talking to People

...[P]eople are more sociable, the more they have some tangible barriers between them, just as they need specific places in public whose sole purpose is to bring them together...[H]uman beings need to have some distance from intimate observation by others in order to feel sociable.

The Fall of Public Man (1977)
Richard Sennett
p.15
