Book
Beta testing the apocalypse / by Tom Kaczynski.
"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."--Provided by Amazon.
