Summary: A happy accident
Comment: I first picked up this book out of curiousity when it was among the "Staff Picks" at Forbidden Planet book shop in NYC.
Challenging interviewing that gets to the core can only come from a writer who chooses to be interested as well as interesting.I always like when work like this is smart but not detached. By the very exploration of such arcania, there is no detachment and Metzger doesn't pretend there isn't.
So many books on these subjects are either uncredible as crack pot advocacy, or conversely are snarky oh-so-cynical jabs at the subject's expense. A voice like Metzger's is refreshing and cool. Welcome is a writer who can be present in style, yet confident to know it isn't about him. Keep them coming Richard.

Summary: Hello to the "reality " check
Comment: If you believe everything you hear from the Bush Administration, if you believe what your told by the media tycoons such as AOL/Time Warner - DON'T READ THIS BOOK!
Seeming weened on the internet of unlimited exploration and assimilation, Metzger has an unquenchable thirst for those creative and daring personalities operating "outside of the box".
With a charismatic passion for the lunatic fringe, Metzger suspends judgment and delves into the psychosis of individuals who dare to examine the means of normative thought production.
Knowing first of Metzger's work as an interviewer as well as editor, I became aware of the illuminating and brilliant thinking of Douglas Rushkoff interpreting future media, along with the utopian dreams of Paul Laffoley and Peter Russell. It's true that Metzger "participates" rather than "observe", but he's clearing taking it all in, and so will you.
No other source will give you such an overview of "reality" as it is meant to be in real time.

Summary: A volatile subcultural primer
Comment: This book is comprised of selections from nearly a dozen important interviews conducted for the Disinformation television series, which unfortunately most Americans have never been allowed the opportunity to see. That may change soon with the release of the Disinformation DVD, but in the meantime this book gives you an excellent overview of the varied thinkers, artists, and pop-cultural agents provocateurs whom Richard Metzger had the good sense to engage in conversation.
All of the material here is extremely thought-provoking and these subjects are fascinatingly articulate in presenting their distinctive worldviews.
Generally the mainstream media avoids any acknowledgment of the sort of ideas you will be exposed to here, which is no wonder since after encountering some of these lines-of-thinking, you'll probably have little use left for the opinions of the status quo.
With its slick packaging and design, this book is akin to a glittering trojan horse, loaded with an army of hardened suicide bombers who will feel no pain as they detonate all your preconceptions. Open the gates!
