#12 made me think of Joan Didion. I read The White Album. Specifically, the essay "Bureaucrats." In it, she visits a traffic control operations center that controls one of the major highways in Los Angeles in the 1960s. The essay reveals the absurdity of bureaucratic systems and their ineffectiveness in managing freeway systems. Great post! Thanks for sharing.

Amazing, thanks Jeremy! Haven't read it. But funnily enough I actually recommended Joan Didion to someone this morning who was asking how to write with more rawness. She. Is. One of the greatest.
