A sui generis work of experimental scholarship or fictional philosophy, it analyzes an imaginary manuscript composed by a ghost. Part sprawling literary montage, part fragmentary theory of modernity, part implosive manifesto on the urban revolution, The Manhattan Project offers readers New York as a landscape built of sheer life. It initiates them into a world of secret affinities between photography and graffiti, pragmatism and minimalism, Andy Warhol and Robert Moses, Hannah Arendt and Jane Jacobs, the flâneur and the homeless person, the collector and the hoarder, the glass-covered arcade and the bare, concrete street. These and many other threads can all be spooled back into one realization: for far too long, we have busied ourselves with thinking about ways to change the city; it is about time we let the city change the way we think. 606 $aCities and towns$xPhilosophy 606 $aCivilization, Modern$xPhilosophy 607 $aNew York (N.Y.)$xSocial life and customs$y20th century 607 $aNew York (N.Y.)$xCivilization$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCities and towns$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aCivilization, Modern$xPhilosophy. 676 $a974.7/10904 700 $aKishik$b David$0915192 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460459503321 996 $aThe Manhattan project$92485640 997 $aUNINA
