Will Self has a new book out (titled, Psychogeography), and it looks quite interesting. It is largely a book about unusual walks. Not walks in unusual places, but walks in places so ordinary that they have become invisible to us. For example, he flew in to JFK airport, and decided to walk to NYC. He did the same thing in Chicago; flying in to O'Hare, he walked down to the loop (approx. 18 miles). Doing these sorts of walks, he sees places we normally don't see, or see only briefly through a car window.
In the movie 'Repo Man', one of the characters says --
"The more you drive, the less intelligent you become."Will Self's book is a sketch of how to re-educate one's self.
