Zeropolis. The Experience of Las Vegas
Las Vegas, an artificial city in the heart of the Mojave desert, is the ultimate urban temptation: its very fabric is made up from shopping malls, theme parks, and casinos that offer an unceasing parade of entertainment and diversions. Although it has always fascinated those who write about the American malaise, Bruce Begout adds a valuable philosophical dimension to the nightmarish visions that haunt the imagination of novelists and filmmakers.
