Description
Mark Dery elucidates the meaning to our madness, desconstructing American culture from mainstream forces like Disney and Nike to fringe phenomena like the Unabomber and alien invaders. Our milennial angst, he argues, is a product of a pervasive culturla anxiety--a combination of the social and economic upheaval wrought by global capitalism and the paranoia fanned by media sensationalism.
