I discovered this book through AOJ and loved it. Not only does it really put into perspective how the corporate state is controlling just about aspect of our lives, but it also touches on issues like the rise of pornography and the moral downfall and gullibility of the nation. From government to television, down to the food we eat and the clothes we wear. Corporations control everything we read, see and hear. The great illusion of America. I would recommend this book to any reader.
