The Great American Wasteland: Chapter 2, Pt. 4

The Company, Man

Hello from halftime, we have a reader request for another section of my abandoned experiment in longform writing, The Great American Wasteland. It just so happens that the next section delves a bit into the work I was doing before I bought a one way ticket to Central America, so it’s semi-relevant. You can read previous chapters here, though sadly most of this stuff is for subscribers only (there’s a Black Friday trial offer running now if you’re on the fence).

If you’re a friend or subscriber, you should be able to log in to your Substack account to access the entire piece. Here’s what you’ve missed so far.

Chapter 1
Part 1: Broken Chains, Dreams, and Minds
Part 2: Taxis, Trains, Busses & Planes

Chapter 2
Part 1: The Long, Emaciated Arm of American Exceptionalism
Part 2: Do You Know The Way To San José?
Part 3: When The Colonizers Arrive
