It draws on a variety of sources to explore modern ruins, the ruin tradition, and the phenomenon of \"ruin porn.\" It features an unusual and original combination of philosophical analysis, the author's photography, and reviews of both new and historically influential case studies, including Richard Haag's Gas Works Park, the ruins of Detroit, and remnants of the steel industry of Pennsylvania.
