Detroit without us
I've been reading this book called The World Without Us by Alan Weisman. It is a post-apocalyptic journey of life after mankind assuming the non-human world is intact. The situation in Detroit is a fairly dire one, and the government has been summoned to rescue automakers who determine the livelihood of this city and the state of the American economy. However, Detroit has already been undergoing extreme poverty for a long time and these photos are hauntingly similar to the descriptions of the first chapter in the book of New York City. I can not help but think of what would happen if the bailout fails and the ensuing economic crisis destroyed cities in such a way that nature would actually take over. If the bailout fails, Detroit will be a live example.
