In this study, a cultural historian argues that the United States' corporate and consumer culture encourages people to disregard art, literature, and critical thinking. He supports his argument with examples of botched education systems, the typical American's resistance to learn, and the country's obsession with TV shows and fast-food. He encourages readers to challenge their material world by turning off their televisions and pursuing the principles of enlightenment. A New York Times Notable Book for 2000.

In the 12th V. I. Warshawksi mystery, the private detective returns to her old South Chicago neighborhood, a visit littered with unpleasant memories, plus present-day sabotage, murder, and disappearing teenagers.

An attempt to drum up corporate support for the team from local high-school alum Buffalo Bill Bysen, the elderly CEO of the By-Smart big-box discount store, proves a dismal failure; ironically, the Bysen family ends up appealing to V.
