City of quartz : excavating the future in Los Angeles
Davis, Mike, 1946-2006
Books
This story reconstructs Los Angeles's shadow history and dissects its ethereal economy. It tells us who has the power and how they hold on to it, and gives us a city of Dickensian extremes, Pynchonesque conspiracies, and a desperation straight out of Nathaniel West.
