Synopsis
Chuck Klosterman's series of essays on pop culture's interaction with real life is an exploration of our obsession with celebrity, what drives it, and how the frequently the lines between entertainment and reality become blurred. It's also an entertaining tour around the inside of Klosterman's brain--few subjects seem to exist that he can't squeeze some meaning and intellectual parallels out of, be they internet porn, STAR WARS, or the MTV show THE REAL WORLD. A diatribe against soccer turns into a meditation on how bad refereeing reflects life, while his ruminations on the nature of reality, as portrayed in the movies VANILLA SKY and MEMENTO, lead to a fascinating questionnaire which is as challenging as it is entertaining.
