Vertical is a transformative exploration of our world, offering a fresh perspective on our place within it. In this groundbreaking work, Stephen Graham challenges us to view the world not as a flat, two-dimensional map, but as a complex network of vertical strata that extends from the satellites that orbit our planet to the depths of underground tunnels.

Through a series of captivating studies, Graham delves into the world of drones, the city from the vantage point of an aerial bomber, the design of sidewalks, and the hidden complexities of underground bunkers. He unravels the intricate relationships between geography, politics, and identity, revealing how they are shaped by the forces of above and below.

Vertical is a thought-provoking and immersive journey that invites us to reevaluate our understanding of the world and our role in it. It challenges us to think beyond the surface and to explore the hidden depths and hidden connections that shape our lives. This is a revolution in understanding our place in the world, one that will leave us forever changed.
