Air conditioning nightmare

About postwar American society. Published in 1945 (and still relevant today), the book is an account of Miller's journey through the United States after ten years in exile in Europe.

"The light of Greece opened my eyes, penetrated my pores, expanded my whole being.". 

The American dream: hypocritical industries and aberrant cities that rise like decrepit temples of business and greed. Nothing but trinkets.

Miller describes a country of broken promises and irreconcilable contradictions where a manic delusion mistakes plunder for progress.

Nothing has changed, therefore.
