This book, a sort of John David Ebert Reader, collects and gathers his most recent essays, displaying a broad range of topics from spree killers to disappearing planes; from the disintegrative effects of technology upon society to ruminations on contemporary art and literature; and also includes a section on the cult and culture of the multi-media celebrity. These essays, never before published in book form, show the broad range of Eberts thought and give the reader a sense of his wide grasp upon the various cultural phenomena of contemporary post-historic society.
