Sprawl is eating the planet. Across the continent the landscape is being leveled – blasted clean of distinctive features and overlaid with a zombie-like monoculture. Gary Burns — master of dystopian comedy — hooks up with journalist Jim Brown to tell a startling family chronicle of the Late Suburban Age.
