    About this ebook

    Set in a near future when the world's largest conglomerate, known simply as The Corporation, rules without opposition, an Arena has been built on seized inner-city land one hundred square blocks in area.
    Inside The Arena, bets are placed for or against teams whose sole purpose is to destroy other team's inhabited property through the destructive power of giant electromagnetic cranes that throw steel dice from inside what is known as the Chaos Pit, while appreciation/depreciation calculators keep constant score and all damage must be repaired as fast as possible in order to survive, while inside the now-powerless center of the Arena, the Great City's homeless, now living in the still-standing buildings that remain, make their stand.

    a sweeping picture of what might someday become reality, Monopoly is an unforgettable journey of love, hope and madness in a world gone wrong. a must read.

      Dec 11, 2021

      Before this year, I typically read one book at a time. Now I alternate, and I find the trick is to switch from one kind to another: chip away at the long ones while flying through the shorts. The post A Year in Reading: Nick Moran appeared first on T
