As he focuses 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.

Difference Machine,
By Ireneusz Przygodzki (Poznan Wlkp poland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Postmodern Sublime: Technology and American Writing from Mailer to Cyberpunk (Paperback)
Great position about postmodern literature/kulutural/philosophical strategies. I think this book is a part of antimetaphysics thinking; "thinking between".
