Synopsis
In this collection of essays, Codrescu focuses his keen eye on America in the "age of the chip." He confronts the convulsions of our post-ideological world at a time when "the advent of cyberspace and the caffeinating of America have occurred simultaneously." With poignancy and trenchant humor, he takes us on a roller-coaster tour of our dramatically changing country.

Review
A star of National Public Radio examines the absurdities of modern life in a wide-ranging collection of essays. Codrescu writes of people who are having dreams about cyberspace and others who are simply obsessed with it; about his experiences going back to his native Romania; about meeting Miss America; about traveling by bus and by plane; and about one very odd dog with her own Internet address. Throughout all of it, the reader is engaged by a deft tension between Codrescu's charmingly boundless optimism and his wry world-weariness.
About the Author
