Escape to California: Misadventures in America's Golden State
by Chris Atkin
He wasn’t trying to break America. But would America break him? Rocked by political turmoil, climate change and the pandemic, the US was calling out for a hero. Unfortunately, it was journalist Chris Atkin who turned up. Over the course of nearly two years living in the Golden State, Chris explores the history and landscapes of western America. He learns about the unsolved murder of the co-founder of Stanford University and the pioneer family reduced to cannibalism. He also finds the entrepreneurial spirit at the heart of California, which, for all of Silicon Valley’s success stories, is equally central to the tale of how hippies came to benefit when nearly three tonnes of marijuana fell from the skies above Yosemite. When not living next door to Donkey from Shrek, Chris dodges bears, rattlesnakes and COVID-deniers, and discovers there’s more than one way to live the American Dream.
