The Mirage Factory

The way the book intertwines Hollywood fantasies with real city development is so intriguing. I wonder what led to this specific angle of storytelling.

It’s fascinating how the city’s image was crafted over time, but I kept questioning where the line was between fact and fabrication. Was that intentional?

The selection of specific figures and moments really painted a vivid picture, but I’m curious about what guided those choices—were some stories left out intentionally?
