Fantastic deconstruction of how the corporate elite work to rob the common folk of everything after disasters both natural and man-made. This has changed the way I look at the world which is the highest honor I can bestow a book. While it does deal with a lot of terrible actions and behaviors, it is ultimately a hopeful book about the power of the people to resist and repair their own communities after massive shocks.
Moderate: Torture, Violence, Medical trauma, Colonisation, and War
