Bonfire Of The Ad Agencies

Our finest Zeitgeist chroniclers–Tom Wolfe, Oliver Stone–haven’t yet tackled the late ’90s gold rush. Until they do, the best pop-cultural representation of how overnight riches are transforming old notions of wealth can be found in ads for Internet services. Many of them, especially commercials for online brokerages like Discover, ETrade and Ameritrade, suggest that the psychology of the day-trading market shares much in common with–as you might expect–lotteries. “If you look at lottery ads, they almost always use lower- middle-class people who end up dining with the Duchess of Windsor,” notes University of Florida professor James B....

Book Excerpt Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close

What about little microphones? What if everyone swallowed them, and they played the sounds of our hearts through little speakers, which could be in the pouches of our overalls? When you skateboarded down the street at night you could hear everyone’s heartbeat, and they could hear yours, sort of like sonar. One weird thing is, I wonder if everyone’s hearts would start to beat at the same time, like how women who live together have their menstrual periods at the same time, which I know about, but don’t really want to know about....

Book Excerpt The Bulldozer And The Big Tent

Parties and movements are both indispensable and always to some degree uneasy with each other, for they work by opposing principles: movements aim to force or midwife something transcendent—something not-yet-existent—into existence, to convert energy into mass, say, while parties get results by converting existing mass into energy.
