If America is the Roman Empire of our time then New York City is
Rome. The pulsating heart of the West pumps greenbacks through the
veins of Manhattan, the richest place in the world. Power emanates
from it's corporate brains and financial muscle across the whole
surface of the globe. So how is it that even in the body of
America, land of eternal youth, there is failure, death and decay
hidden just beneath its glossy surfaces? A new breed of urban
adventurers take a savage ride through the invisible story of the
North Eastern USA. From NYC to the infamous Rust Belt, once home to
America's heavy industry, States of Decay brings you a glimpse of
the broken, the doomed, the entropic dreamlands on the flipside of
the silver dollar coin. A unique exploration of everything from
abandoned power plants, hospitals, asylums, schools, theatres,
steel mills, prisons, factories, hotels, cathedrals, blast
furnaces, convents to a boat graveyard. This extended photo-essay
functions as a visual poem allowing the reader to draw their own
experiences and conclusions from the images themselves. No
interpretation necessary. This book will ask disturbing questions
and inspire unexpected answers from anyone with an imagination and
a heart. Sit back and let us take you on a walk around the Bad
Apple.
