Empire of Illusion

by Chris Hedges

Book Reviews

  • @sriramk @briannekimmel Did you ever read 'Empire of Illusion' by Hedges? He's a former seminarian turned socialist, and he kicks of his redo of Boorstin's The Image with a mock-rhapsodic take of a WWE match. Wouldn't read whole book, but if the sample has the wrestling part, definitely worth it.Link to Tweet

About Book

The author navigates America's divided culture--where a minority embraces film, theater, and books, while the majority cling to a world of fantasy and false certainty--to expose what he sees as an age of terrifying decline and heightened self-delusion.
