Recommendation: Inter State by José Vadi
Why: In these wry, intelligent essays, Vadi chronicles the changes in his beloved home state from the time his grandfather followed the crops as a California migrant worker, through the tech boom, high-speed rail development, wildfires, and the pandemic and the resulting gentrification, ghost towns, homelessness, and his own sense of displacement.
