More about the book
Focusing on Los Angeles as a postmodern space, the essay explores its unique characteristics that set it apart from other cities. It examines geographical instability, highlighting the city's vulnerability to natural disasters and its expansive, decentralized layout. The discussion includes the significance of freeways as a connective network and the metaphorical and literal walls that create segregation. Ultimately, the essay draws parallels between the city's instability and broader postmodern themes, asserting Los Angeles as a distinct representation of postmodernity.
