“The book is a biography of the Goodman Building of Downtown SF, alongside the created community within and its ever-evolving environment. ... The book reflects an extended anthropological field study produced through participant observation, the copious field notes of which were given to some research respondents for verification. ... The book is also implicitly about city (San Francisco) governance. … Essentially it is a study of economic survival tactics, transitory platforms and the negotiated identities that built environments can offer.” (Gary Armstrong, Urbanities-Journal of Urban Ethnography, Vol. 14 (1), May, 2024)
