Exploring various UK cities, the book presents a journey through both celebrated and overlooked locales, from Plymouth and Brighton to Belfast and Aberdeen. It delves into the haunting urban landscapes of the Welsh valleys and the often-criticized modernist architecture of Coventry. This narrative serves as a poignant critique of Britain's self-congratulatory atmosphere during events like the jubilee and Olympics, offering a fresh perspective on national identity and urban life.
