Family and love in times of globalization: Grandparents in Thessaloniki and their grandson in Cambridge talk to each other every evening – via Skype. An American woman and her Swiss husband are frustrated by high phone bills and travel costs. A European couple fulfills their wish for children with the help of an Indian surrogate mother. New forms of intimacy, love, and family are at the center of the new book by Elisabeth Beck-Gernsheim and Ulrich Beck. The authors of the bestseller "The Completely Normal Chaos of Love" examine all kinds of long-distance relationships in their new positive polemic, from marriages that connect continents and cultures, Skype-supported romantic relationships, chatroom tragedies, globalized maids, prostitutes from Sri Lanka, Indian surrogates, Ethiopian migrant workers (and many more). Their conclusion: Families do not exist.
