Anecdata, but I regularly see people exceed the speed limit by 30mph in Houston without much intervention by police. The city has (imo) a psychotic driving culture, but is still roughly middle-of-the-road in us news and world report's

As an aside: the movie is a surprisingly-faithful rendition, but tbh I was a bit shocked when I read that they were making it. So much of the book is winking and prodding at pillars of modern US culture through textual absurdities that were

I read white noise first by a few years and found it much more enjoyable. I remember a few parts of underworld, and I definitely annotated it a bit, but I don't find it broadly memorable or formative. (Judging by some receipts I left i

I don't know , but she did enjoy mountain climbing, and she's seemed to be in good spirits lately ( https://krisnova.net/posts/ego-death/ ) so I'm guessing a climbing accident until we hear more.
