In the shadow of the Burj Khalifa

The rather excellent architecture magazine icon has published a special fiction issue in which Will Self “probes the shadow of the Burj Dubai (now Burj Khalifa)” in an extract from Psycho Too. Other contributions come from Bruce Sterling, who “imagines the ascetic existence made possible by rapid prototyping”, and China Miéville, who “examines the rise and fall of space elevators”, among many others.
