Summary
"Miami is heir to the 21st century in the same way Manhattan was heir to the 20th. In this unauthorized sequel, the seemingly unconnected attributes of Miami are exposed and tied together using Dali and Koolhaas' paranoid critical method of analysis. From its birth, Miami combined technology, the non-native, and a fabricated nature in a way that predicts the trends of the 21st century. Delirious Miami calls for an interpretation of the modern metropolis that is polycentric, leading to a completely different culture of congestion than that which arose in the previous century." -- Back cover
