They drove crosscountry and back on a ten-week trip, recording images of American life through humerous texts and the lens of a Leica camera. When they returned home, they published their work in Ogonek, the Soviet equivalent of Time magazine, and later in the book Odnoetazhnaia Amerika (Single-Storied America). This wonderful lost work—filled with wry observations, biting opinions, and telling photographs—is now collected in "Ilf and Petrov's American road trip", the first English translation.

Summary:
Baudrillard has become incredibly popular in architecture in recent years and this is the first time that the work of one of the world’s greatest philosophers has been pulled together to present a complete assessment and understanding of it. In Baudrillard's terms, architecture could be seen as the supreme medium of contemporary visual culture, especially in its potential to influence the individual's perception of reality as a component of the massmedia system. This type of cultural analysis of the built environment is a relatively new idea in architectural criticism and this book provides the first invaluable directory for the reader. Proto uses extracts from Baudrillard's very own work, including previously unpublished material. Proto's style makes Baudrillard's work easy to read and easily accessible to readers in cultural studies, geography and art, as well as sociology and social theory.
