About This Item
New York: St. Martin's Press, [1993]. First edition. Head of spine slightly bumped, a fine copy in a fine jacket with bump at the head of the spine panel. (26563). Octavo, boards. "With a breakneck pace and a wonk's sense of humor, Laidlaw ( Neon Lotus ) neatly satirizes our postmodern society in this wild, almost hallucinatory novel. In the future U.S.A. that is the book's setting, flat-screen entertainment has evolved into full virtual-reality experience; stars are "wired'' to transmit from their senses directly to their worshipful audiences, who are themselves wired to receive more channels than a cable box..." - Publisher's Weekly. "As brilliant a satire on the future of media and popular culture as any of Pohl and Kornbluth's classic works." - George Zebrowski. Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-626.
