$7.99If the last time you read this book was high school, you HAVE to read it again. Vonnegut’s most powerful novel is a strange, hilarious, and very sad trip through time and space, and the madness that was World War II. Comedy and tragedy at their very best – and based partly on the author’s own experiences as a POW in Nazi Germany. One of my absolute favorite novels.

This stunning expose on the construction of corporate capitalist spaces begins with the city's founder, James M. Stafford, and ends with present day corporate heir Edward Roski, Jr., the nation's biggest industrial developer: co-owner of L.A. Staples Arena and possible future owner of California's next NFL franchise. Included are sealed FBI reports uncovering a series of scandals, an exploration of the effects of governmental technologies and engineering feats, and the captivating story of the Latino working class communities living within.
