The Grid is a set of imaginary lines that have been emblazoned onto the land itself. From Chicago streets to county roads, Isaac Newton’s coordinate grid is a fact of life for anyone who lives in Chicago Land. This is the first episode in a four part series.

We see how Enlightenment principles lead “rapping slave master” Thomas Jefferson to envision a rural mathematical republic.
