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
