Plot summary
A squatter community called Slab City occupies part of the Sonoran Desert in Southern California, where residents live in broken trailers and old school buses. Residents do without running water, electricity, a sewage system and trash pickup, and the closest military neighbors are the United States Navy and Marine Corps, which practice aerial bombing nearby. Rob dislikes coffee, but at dawn each day he brews it carefully for the people who come to his makeshift internet cafe, the town's only building with power. Its regulars are of different ages and they have brought their own histories with them, each of them chose freedom, giving up basic comforts for it.
