Looking into how cities actually work, rather than how they should work according to urban designers and planners, Jacobs effectively describes the real factors affecting cities, and recommends strategies to enhance actual city performance. ![]() Jacobs' book is an attack on “orthodox” modern city planning and city architectural design.

What struck me most about The Unit is the impressive way such a horrific situation is presented with relative normalcy. With budget cuts and lessening resources comes a need to resort to drastic actions, thus the Unit is permitted to become a part of a democratic western society. The way in which Holmqvist describes the slow formulation of the Unit is uncomfortably comparable to being under Tory rule. They are also made to take part in a myriad of psychological and physical experiments to help scientific progression. The Unit was established by the government as a way of making use of less valuable members of society with enforced organ and blood donations. As a result she is given two choices: kill herself or be taken to the Unit. She is an unmarried, childless writer who spent the majority of her life experiencing the world and creating respected (but not bestselling) fiction.
