In Alienation Nation, James LaFond, the author of over 10 books and 300 articles on urban survival, offers a guide to defining and surviving our dystopian now. As a committed Darwinist LaFond offers no societal solutions and advocates no political action, but rather offers a guide to living below the political and criminal horizon which he insists are one in the same] and adopting a practical view of violence and society toward the end of developing sustainable countermeasures that will permit you to avoid and survive crime without falling into the clutches of the judicial system.
