商品簡介
There's never been a better time to be outside the consensus -- and if you don'tbelieve it, then peer into these genre-defining essays from The Baffler, the magazine that's beenblunting the cutting edge of American culture and politics for a quarter of a century. Here's ThomasFrank on the upward-falling cult of expertise in Washington, D.C., where belonging means getting themajor events of our era wrong. Here's Rick Perlstein on direct mail scams, multilevel marketing, andthe roots of right-wing lying. Here's John Summers on the illiberal uses of innovation in liberalCambridge, Massachusetts. And here's David Graeber sensing our disappointment in new technology. (Weexpected teleportation pods, antigravity sleds, and immortality drugs. We got LinkedIn, which, asAnn Friedman writes here, is an Escher staircase masquerading as a career ladder.)
Packed with hilarious, scabrous, up to-the-minute criticism of the Americancomedy, No Future for You debunks "positive thinking" bromides andbusiness idols. Susan Faludi debunks Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg's phony feminist handbook,Lean In. Evgeny Morozov wrestles "open source" and "Web 2.0" and otherpseudorevolutionary meme-making down to the ground. Chris Lehmann writes the obituary of theWashington Post, Barbara Ehrenreich goes searching for the ungood God in Ridley Scott's filmPrometheus, Heather Havrilesky reads Fifty Shades of Grey, andJim Newell investigates the strange and typical case of Adam Wheeler, the student fraud who fooledHarvard and, unlike the real culprits, went to jail.
No Future forYou offers the counternarrative you've been missing, proof that dissent is alive and wellin America. Please be warned, however. The writing that follows is polemical in nature. It may seekto persuade you of something.
Copublished with The Baffler.
