A scathing illustrated essay that takes one seemingly simple, everyday thing - a house - and looks at the social relations that surround it. Moving from intensely personal thoughts and interactions to large-scale political and economic forces, it reads alternately like a worker's diary, a short story, a psychology of everyday life, a historical account, an introduction to Marxist critique of political economy and an angry flyer someone would pass you on the street.
