Industry Reviews
"[D]espite his frequent denials in LIFE STYLE he tends to treat the book as a design construct more than an intellectual medium....Mau develops the insights of Marshall McLuhan, but, like McLuhan, he seems confused in his role: is he a cultural critic, a futurist guru or a corporate consultant?"
London Review of Books - Hal Foster (04/05/2001)

"LIFE STYLE is not content to be merely beautiful....Mau wants to do more than document his practice as a successful graphic designer; he wants...to show himself to be a sophisticated intellectual, the savviest of cultural critics....Taking LIFE STYLE as evidence, one might imagine the world to be populated entirely by isolated individuals out shopping, all of whom have the pressing problem of how to dispose of their surplus income in stylish ways....LIFE STYLE...descends into a haze of beautiful but meaningless static. Turning its pages feels like channel surfing or wandering mutely through a downtown mall."
Harper's - Mark Kingwell (06/01/2001)
