Delirious New York is a passionate and provocative celebration of the architectural and urban history of Manhattan, from its earliest days to the present day. Rem Koolhaas, one of the world's most influential architects, argues that Manhattan is the "capital of the 20th century" and that its history is a microcosm of the history of modern architecture and urbanism.

Koolhaas's book is a dizzying array of images, texts, and ideas that explore the many facets of Manhattan's urban landscape. He examines the city's skyscrapers, bridges, parks, and streets, and he shows how these elements have been shaped by the city's history of immigration, commerce, and technology.

Koolhaas is particularly interested in the way that Manhattan has been shaped by the forces of capitalism. He argues that the city's skyline is a reflection of the city's economic power, and that its streets are a testament to the city's relentless drive for growth.

Delirious New York is a complex and challenging book, but it is also a rewarding one. Koolhaas's passionate and provocative writing style makes the book a pleasure to read, and his insights into the history of Manhattan are both original and thought-provoking.
