Summary:
Written originally for a special issue of The New Yorker and first issued in book form in 1981, this edition contains a new forward by the author. George W. S. Trow's brilliant exposition on the state of American culture and twentieth-century life. Published to widespread acclaim, it became an immediate classic. Both a chilling commentary on the times in which it was written and an eerie premonition of the future, Trow's work locates and traces, describes and analyzes the components of change in contemporary America -- a culture increasingly determined by the shallow worlds of consumer products, daytime television, and celebrity heroes.
