Beta Testing the Apocalypse

Zusammenfassung Tom Kaczynski takes abstract ideas - capitalism! communism! or utopianism - and makes them tangible. Beta Testing the Apocalypse includes approximately 10 short stories! most notably "The New." "The New" is set in an un-named third-world megalopolis. It could be Dhaka! Lagos or Mumbai. The city creaks under the pressure of explosive growth. Whole districts are built in a week. The story follows an internationally renowned starchitect as he struggles to impose his vision on the metropolis. A vision threatened by the massive dispossessed slum-proletariat inhabiting the slums and favelas on the edges of the city. From the fetid ferment of garbage dumps and shanties emerges a new feral architecture.
