%X This review presents a systematic reading of Peter Sloterdijk¡¯s Spheres trilogy, as part of a larger project to develop a techno-social ontology of place/s. Arguing against universalizing theories of time and space, including Sloterdijk¡¯s own conception of Spheres as ¡®Being and Space¡¯, this essay reads the trilogy through a ¡®platial¡¯ framework. While commenting on some of the shortcomings of the official English translations, the three volumes are being worked through methodically ¨C Bubbles (micro spherology), Globes (macro spherology) and Foams (plural spherology) ¨C by placing particular emphasis on the third book, where Sloterdijk¡¯s logic of spheres converges. The essay concludes by pointing out the limitation of Spheres as (philosophical) anthropology
