Every movement has its book. Gritty, raw and spiritual, Ghetto Plainsman chronicles one man's triumph over humiliation, self-defeat, anger and violence by taking us on a chaotic journey between urban survival and the life-or-death struggles of the ravaged American Great Plains. As a modern-day parable for our crashing Earth, this gripping story reveals how someone on the cut, hustling, drug dealing and trying to beat back despair transforms himself into someone working to save great stretches of the American West that prove to be even more violent and devastated than the inner city. Jarid Manos finds comfort on a curb or in the shadows of a deserted street. He sees the world as a constant war zone filled with hatred and ugliness. He burns with backlash resentment. To complicate matters, he is tormented by a self-loathing denial of his sexuality and wants to kill it out of him. From coastal Texas to an '80s-early '90s New York City under siege by drugs and AIDS, to xenophobic L.A. waste
Jarid Manos is an American writer and activist, and a leader in re-connecting people and the land through story and work. He works inside the edges where violence and health, and people and Earth meet. His first book Ghetto Plainsman Temba House Press received a $34,500 Arcus Foundation literary award to mount the national "Sharing the Journey" Tour. His second book, Her Blue Watered Streets: An American Novel, is nearing completion. In January 2014 he launched the 2 year blogstory Fear & Loving: Where the Ocean Meets the Streets, an online serial in Florida and Texas of urban life at sea level during impending climate change. He believes the tension of our times is a character itself.
There are parts of this book which are utterly engrossing. I would just like to add that Steve Stirling is correct that the rise of fascism was not supposed to let the aristos remain in power. It must certainly be in the library of any university or college with ambitions to educate those who will lead the next wave moving us toward Web 3.0 and Web 4.0.

The book does NOT make the leap to geospatially-referenced data or infinite end-user tagging of data, but it is certainly a foundation endeavor and I recommend it on that basis.
