For A World Adrift Unknown Fields travel through Asia and beyond,
tracing the shadows of the world's desires along the supply chains and
cargo routes of the South China Sea to explore the dispersed
choreographies and atomised geographies that the globalised city brings
into being. This book is a collection of conversations and images from
Unknown Fields' journey. From sea to source, we follow the routes of
bits, bobs and thingamajigs in reverse and chart their unmaking, from
container ship back through wholesalers and manufacturers and ending at
the banks of the sludge-filled radioactive lake in Inner Mongolia where
most of our technologies begin their lives.
