City of Quartz: Excavating the Future in Los Angeles

I finished this flying over the Pacific Palisades and into the L.A. maw. It was amazing to see the fractal subdivisions that Davis talks about tendriling off to Fontana on the horizon. The book is, of course, amazing for being both loving and damning of the city but I would suggest skipping chapters 2, 3 and 6. Davis is best when he's playing the cultural critic and less so when he's the motormouth metro-desk reporter, expecting you to know and care about every switch in the City Council from 1981 to 1989.
