...search for value was an utter failure. The conspiracy had extended to retail; the were only Eight in the Box. This novel is based on a true story. Imagining America in 2033By Herbert J. GansIn this gripping work of post-modern historical fiction (or, “pomo hifi,” or “pofi”), a young writer struggles to discover whether his waking life has been reality or a dream. As he wanders through the labyrinthine catacombs of his university library, strange apparitions—phantasms, childhood memories and the Jew of Malta, among others?...

The bust of Elvis in the window beckons passersby to pick up their...
...this precocious thumbing of noses at the industry that made them millionaires can be tolerated, R.E.M.'s New Adventures in HiFi is a complex and layered album. And, yes, some of the songs have that trademark R.E.M. neat-and-tidy quality which promises much radio airplay. The album doesn't feel as innovative as Monster, musically speaking, but as the most recent footprint left by a band with seven-league boots, New Adventures in HiFi is inevitably fascinating...
