Surprisingly enough, although history often repeats itself, governments seem to learn their lesson—sometimes. Though the U.S. infamously forced Japanese Americans...
...With a plot somewhere between “V for Vendetta,” “The Matrix,” and “28 Days Later,” “Rant” is sure to be gratifying for Palahniuk’s faithful readers and “virgins” alike.
