The world had evolved into a small studio apartment where the tenants were no longer capable of rational thought nor compassion for each other. Claustrophobia became the soup of the day--every day. It was just a matter of time before the disintegration was complete, when the ominous kismet would at last disconnect the dots. And those chosen few who had unlocked secrets that were never meant to be revealed, looked on in horror from a more spacious apartment...hopelessly rooting for the underdogs who seemed destined to lose.

The book also examines the cultural dynamics of sexism and racism as they shape different instances of news coverage. Building on t
