Das Buch nimmt den Leser als intellektuelles Abenteuer auf eine Reise durch eine sorgfältig zusammengestellte Auswahl von 120 Orten, die als Metaphern der zeitgenössischen "Kultur" verstanden werden können und somit den Zustand unserer heutigen Welt wiederspiegeln. Diese Orte, die über alle sieben Kontinente verteilt sind, von den Tiefen des Ozeans bis zum Weltraum, gliedern sich in sechs Kapitel: Paradiese, Utopien, Maschinen, Ungeheuer, Ruinen und Instrumente. Das Spektrum reicht vom Apple Park von Steve Jobs in Kalifornien über einen Nationalpark in Costa Rica, eine kleine Feldstation für den Schutz der Orang Utans auf Borneo, Afrikas Grüne Mauer, das Trump-Resort Mar-a-Lago bis hin zum Grenzzaun zwischen den USA und Mexiko. Die Publikation offeriert eine Grand Tour zu den wichtigsten Orten unserer Zeit. Eine Reise um die Erde von heute der ganz besonderen Art Mit eigens für diese Publikation erstellten, maßgefertigten Karten
The book takes the reader on an intellectual adventure through a carefully curated selection of 120 places that can be understood as metaphors of contemporary global culture. Spread across all seven continents, from the depths of the ocean to outer space, these places are divided into six chapters: Paradises, Utopias, Machines, Monsters, Ruins, and Instruments. The spectrum ranges from Steve Jobs' Apple Park in California to a national park in Costa Rica, a small field station for the protection of wild orangutans in Borneo, the Great Green Wall in Central Africa, the Trump resort Mar-a-Lago, to the border wall between Israel and Palestine. This book is a grand tour of the most pertinent places in the world today. A unique and fascinating journey around the world of today Featuring custom-made maps created especially for this publication
