That mall, we read, is "not just the world's largest. With fewer than a dozen stores scattered through a space designed to house 1,500, it is also the world’s emptiest -- a dusty, decrepit complex of buildings marked by peeling paint, dead light bulbs, and dismembered mannequins."
"A stunning survey of the latest evidence for intelligent life on Mars. Mac Tonnies brings a thoughtful, balanced and highly accessible approach to one of the most fascinating enigmas of our time."
--Herbie Brennan, author of Martian Genesis and The Atlantis Enigma
"Tonnies drops all predetermined opinions about Mars, and asks us to do the same."
--Greg Bishop, author of Project Beta
"I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in the search for extra-terrestrial artifacts, and the political intrigues that invariably accompany it."
--David Jinks, author of The Monkey and the Tetrahredron
"Mac Tonnies goes where NASA fears to tread and he goes first class."
--Peter Gersten, former Director of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy

Leaving world catastrophe aside, when I see a new building or structure, I often imagine what it will look like when it has fallen into ruins. It puts into perspective the transitive nature of all things.

That photo reminds me of the time I saw A Scanner Darkly in downtown Vancouver's Tinseltown, located in the failing "International Village". A massive, sparsely populated (by merchants and shoppers alike) mall right on the border between the good and bad parts of downtown. It was a very Philip K Dickian experience.
