Tom Wolfe's best maybe, and a stunning portrayal of Atlanta, that has some issues, due to Tom Wolfe being a privilged white guy, but it's an accurate look. Just following Atlanta loosely over the years, BMF, scandals, RICO indictments, it's all in the book, the mixture of politics, race, crime, I mean that's ANY city but Atlanta is unique because of it's past and proximity to the Jim Crow South and the 1700's.

They changed several major storylines which not only affect the ending but doesn't make it a racial powder keg as it should be
The book was also frequently fukking hilarious. The character of the businessman/real estate tyc00n, also has a lot of implications about America's obsession with powerhouse businessmen, the shadiness of big business, America's reliance on debt and borrowing, and consumption, keeping up appearances.

Decent quick watch. The ending was very abrupt
that ending caught me off-guard.. needs this to be longer.
