About this ebook
Where people choose to sit is rarely just a practical decision. An empty chair can offer privacy, distance, comfort, visibility, or simply a way to avoid sitting too close to someone else.
Sitting Near Other People explores the hidden social logic behind choosing seats, leaving empty spaces, adapting to new neighbors, and creating small temporary territories in shared environments. From cafés and waiting rooms to trains, parks, and public spaces, the book reveals how something as ordinary as a chair quietly shapes the way strangers coexist.
