From lost kingdoms to modern-day disasters, from economic meltdowns to political unrest, from bad reputations to cinematic flops, the spectre of ruin is omnipresent and never ending. Often ruin evokes feelings of nostalgia for good times long gone. Ruin poses the sometimes unthinkable question: What is so bad about ruin and why do we fear it so? In this collection of essays, Sarah Chin and Rupal Oza explore the issues surrounding the human fixation with decay and dilapidation.
