BUNKER - BRADLEY GARRETT KARTONIERT (TB)

A NEW STATESMAN BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020 'An extraordinary achievement . . . gripping  grim and
witty' Robert MacFarlane 'Unputdown-able ... No book could be more timely' Richard J Evans
Today  the bunker has become the extreme expression of our greatest fears: from pandemics to
climate change and nuclear war. And once you look  it doesn't take long to start seeing bunkers
everywhere.In Bunker  acclaimed urban explorer and cultural geographer Bradley Garrett explores
the global and rapidly growing movement of 'prepping' for social and environmental collapse  or
'Doomsday'. From the 'dread merchants' hustling safe spaces in the American mid-West to
eco-fortresses in Thailand  from geoscrapers to armoured mobile bunkers  Bunker is a brilliant
original and never less than deeply disturbing story from the frontlines of the way we live
now: an illuminating reflection on our age of disquiet and dread that brings it into new  sharp
focus.The bunker  Garrett shows  is all around us: in malls  airports  gated communities  the
vehicles we drive. Most of all  he shows  it's in our minds.
