Everything Now Lessons from the City-State of Los Angeles

America is obsessed with Los Angeles. And America has been thinking about Los Angeles all wrong, for decades, on repeat. Los Angeles is not just the place where the American dream hits the Pacific. Not just the end of the line anymore. Not just the vanishing point of America's western drive. Not just a city. Los Angeles is best understood as a city-state. Functionally, aesthetically, mythologically, even technologically - a small independent territory, a sovereign place, a city and surrounding regions bound together by population density and an aura of autonomy and a sense of unfurling destiny. This is Los Angeles. Deeply researched and reported, provocatively argued, and eloquently sung, Rosecrans Baldwin's 'Everything Now' reveals the borders and probes the ecology of this Great American City-State, enumerates its cultural treasures and economic prowess, hails its heroes and charts its landmarks.
