The book is a telling of the work-a-day dreary lives of Americans: wards of the state, small-time money-grubbers, high school pranksters, simpleton geniuses--the ones nullified and canceled by their culture, society, and country--the ones affected by the political climates of the day only wanting to achieve some form of happiness and stability in their lives. They search for it in the various corners and niches their society has left for them and discover the interesting surprises that lay there. It is a Chronicle of American Life and the surveys and Scams that go along with it.







In Kirk Andersen's second book, he has written what he feels are slices of American Life. Stories that portray normal people and their experiences in Modern America. The stories could be looked upon as social justice literature but are really just a narrative of the way things are or could be.
