Beyond the Techno-Cave: A Guerrilla Writer's Guide to Post-Millennial Culture

At a time when most American fiction writers steer clear of direct political statement, Harold Jaffe gives us Beyond the Techno-Cave: A Guide to Post-Millennial Culture. Here are 14 essays and docufictions ranging from searing indictments of the hypocrisies of American power to reflections on art and technology in America, travel in Asia, and madness as a revolutionary act. Many of Jaffe's texts read like formally innovative narratives; others function like conceptual art, releasing meanings in the mind long after. Everywhere evident is Jaffe's broad erudition, social commitment, and energized, elegant writing.
