Title: Another flop of a Life
Product review: Remarkable and lamentable by what it manages to ignore this workis more an example of what it tries to describe than an implementfor its understanting! That Gabler manages to write a book aboutthe spectacular engulfing of the everyday without engaging theviews of Guy Debord, Herbert Marcuse, Goddfrey Reggio, Georges Perec, Vince Packard or David Riesman is in itself a testemonial of how entertainment effectively compresses the depth of any analysis of its effects to a waffer thin prespective!
