Description
Focusing on works by Norman Mailer, Thomas Pynchon, Joseph McElroy, and Don DeLillo, Joseph Tabbi finds that a simultaneous attraction to and repulsion from technology has produced a powerful new mode of modern writing—the technological sublime.
First Sentence
I am concerned in this book with four of those "most energetic" and ambitious prose writers of recent decades who have sought in their work, in the full knowledge of the impossibility of their task, to reflect imaginatively on the whole of American technological culture (Jameson, "Postmodernism" 79).
