Question
A 2009 book by Alain de Botton depicts his week spent as a “writer-in-residence” at one of these places in London. People wait at one of these places on the cover of a book that begins by considering Pierre Dupont driving to one to illustrate their “supermodernity”—that book is Marc Augé’s Non-Places. An irritating visit to one of these places in Cologne inspired an album titled for them, Brian Eno’s first foray into ambient music. In “Disneyland with the Death Penalty,” William Gibson notes the (*) immaculacy of one of these places in Changi whose “Jewel” sports the world’s tallest indoor waterfall. Authors like Jeffrey Archer pump out long, fast-paced genre “novels” often bought in these places, sometimes at duty-free stores. For 10 points, what places may be identified by three-letter codes like RDU and LAX? ■END■
