In Karl Taro Greenfeld’s prescient book, The Subprimes, he foretells a future where there are two classes of Americans, the 1% and the discarded, Subprimes, who live in a state of near apocalyptic squalor. Taking a hard look at American inequality, Greenfeld exhibits shades of Steinbeck and Georhe Saunders for what is a fascinating ride into the near future. Up against the wall motherfucker’s as we talk with the author and Playboy contributor. Roll Tape!
