5.0 out of 5 stars
blown away!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Left for Dead... A Digital Manifesto (Paperback)
When I began reading this book I wanted to slap the author. By the time I was finished I wanted to hug and kiss him, and slap Hillary, Jesse, and Dick Gephardt Instead. As a pro choice, pro environment, pro free speech civil libertarian, I had always toed the line for the "liberal" Democratic Party. However, the irrefutable, fact-based (and often terrifying) arguments laid out in this book, expose the ugly truth that the once altruistic party of FDR and JFK has been hijacked by a mob of anachronistic left-wing extremists. A MUST READ FOR ALL CLASSICAL LIBERALS!

This review is from: Left for Dead... A Digital Manifesto (Paperback)
sause lays a foundation for an entire civilization. not only does he lay a foundation, he clearly outlines the infrastructure necessary to surviving your educational and media influenced perceptions of reality. (don't believe you're influenced? take a look at the products in your house...)without being didactic, or uttering predictable rhetorical spasms usually employed by both sides of the political spectrum, sause uses concrete points of fact to express the cultural devices used to shape our culture. he masterfully articulates the scope of our human history, the paradigm shifts and identifies the relevant events and their direct influence on both our nation and the world at large. the aesthetic beauty of sause's work rests in two areas: his accessible language that expresses the heart of anyone who loves individualism and the arts and humanity. the other side of his beautiful work reveals the deep, mulitiple dimensions of our existence in the digital framework rapidly encroaching (dictating really) upon our very lives and relationships. by bringing emotionally charged realism based on personal experience together with psychologically sound intellectualism, sause introduces several universal truths back into their proper light: that the artist is the ultimate capitalist and more importantly, that intellectually honest artists are the most likely candidates to lead this culture when the autonomy enabled by the digital age becomes our civilizations standard mode of existense. he acknowledges the difficulty facing our current system when it comes to dispelling the media fed myths of "social and moral equivelancy". but, as he says in his sample chapter at [paraphrased] "[he] is not your typical country club conservative" in fact, it is true, you will have a difficult time identifying where his political leanings are - except where he presents them. But, his focus is so apparently apolitical that you become enraptured in the truth of the topics he discusses as they relate to your own inner thoughts and wonderings. it is a manifesto, but one that calls you to face the reality of the world we live in, and the very different one in which we are about to live. sause's work is truly a gift to his generation, his country, his industry, and ultimately to himself; for he brought his heart's artistic expressions together with his mind's intellectual honesty, thus enhancing himself and his ability to understand the world in which we now live. this book is not about politics, it's not about technology, it's not about revolution -- it's about you and the things you love and hold most dear - your life and those you love. until you read the pages of this manifesto and marvel the at the pearls of thoughts decorating this man's work, you can never claim you know what's really going on... get it and read it anyway you can, before you're left for dead!

Incredible,

This review is from: Left for Dead... A Digital Manifesto (Paperback)
This is the first non-fiction book I've read in a long time that I placed in the "can't put it down" category. In a nutshell, it was incredible, well-written, eye-opening, educational, and gutsy. I am sure that the book will really irritate a lot of leftists (I can hear the elisists on college campuses wailing as I write this), but the truth always hurts. I read the book after Sept. 11, 2001, and appreciated it even more. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!
