Publishers Description: It is assumed that every inch of the world has been explored and charted; that there is nowhere new to go. But perhaps it is the everyday places around usthe cities we live inthat need to be rediscovered. What does it feel like to find the citys edge, to explore its forgotten tunnels and scale unfinished skyscrapers high above the metropolis Explore Everything reclaims the city, recasting it as a place for endless adventure.Plotting expeditions from London, Paris, Berlin, Detroit, Chicago, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, Bradley L. Garrett has evaded urban security in order to experience the city in ways beyond the boundaries of conventional life. He calls it place hacking: the recoding of closed, secret, hidden and forgotten urban space to make them realms of opportunity.Explore Everything is an account of the authors escapades with the London Consolidation Crew, an urban exploration collective.The book is also a manifesto, combining philosophy, politics and adventure, on our rights to the city and how to understand the twenty-first century metropolis.
