Two years before the explosion, Atta defended a master's thesis that critiqued the introduction of Western-style skyscrapers in the Middle East. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing this as a departure point, Jarett Kobek's novel \u003ci\u003eATTA\u003c\/i\u003e offers a psychedelic biography that circles around one question: What if the ideological roots of 9\/11 were as much a matter of architectural criticism as religious terrorism?
