New book:
It includes a remarkable chapter by Trevor Paglen, a geographer at Berkeley. I’ve mentioned him before because he is one of the few people working on covert military operations (eg flights of rendition).
Paglen here talks about Groom Lake a place that both does and doesn’t exist (it’s not on any maps, but you can be arrested for crossing into it or even taking pictures of it).
NB: Just as this book was coming out, its co-editor, Allan Pred died. A commemoration appears here.
