Just curious if Av or Shakespeare or anyone has read this book yet?

Thinking about getting it but need to finish others first.

No, I have not read Griftopia. The various reviews have piqued my interest though.

There is another book also published some 15 or so years ago that has some interesting passages. But I need to dig in the cob webs of my grey matter.

For what it is worth I remember watching long ago when it first came out, Sex, Lies and Videotape and thinking this guy Soderburg was going to make interesting films. (Also I thought Andie MacDowell was a hottie.) Anyways a while back he made Contagion, well worth watching.

This is rather creepy! Did Dean Koontz have a crystal ball or what? This book was written in 1981.  http://ruadventures.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=28644.0;attach=60882;image
This is the book I recall reading. D. Koontz published the book using a pen name.
