Review title: quickly dated and trivial
Product review: After I read this pretentious tome, I became depressed. I thought about how many contemporary intellectuals are lost in a sea of theory, popular culture, and self-absobtion. This book, seeking to be epic cultural criticism, is a mishmash of postmodern theorists that seems starkly disconnected from the zeitgeist it's attempting to portray.If you wish to read significant cultural criticism, I suggest Paul Berman's book "Terror And Liberalism"- a work that is both urgent and sophisticated cultural analysis.
