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 Ebert’s thought and give the reader a sense of his wide grasp upon the various cultural phenomena of contemporary post-historic society.

John David Ebert is the author of sixteen books of cultural criticism, including “Art After Metaphysics,” “The Age of Catastrophe,” “The New Media Invasion,” and “Dead Celebrities, Living Icons.” He is also the author of the “Scene-by-Scene” cinema series.
