Published this spring, the 480-page hardback book is "about what makes a Warhol a genuine fake; the creation of national identities; the mania to collect," said the publisher.

"It's also about the world seen from the rear-view mirror of Grand Theft Auto V; digital ornament and why we value imperfection. It's about drinking a bruisingly dry martini in Adolf Loo's American Bar in Vienna, and about Hitchcock's film sets," the publisher added.
