The Insignificant

Book excerpt: New York City is one of the most impressive discoveries you will ever make in a lifetime. As soon as you land there, you know that you have entered a world of historical verticality.

Manhattan, the centre of the metropolitan area, is no longer a little woodland where native Americans used to make bows and arrows for hunting. Like many megalopolises it is a jungle of restless human souls, the hunter has become the hunted. But does this mean they all end up being swallowed by the beast of insignificance? Let's find out!
