Book Review: "Means of Control: How the Hidden Alliance of Tech and Government Is Creating a New American Surveillance State"
Byron Tau’s "Means of Control: How the Hidden Alliance of Tech and Government Is Creating a New American Surveillance State" yanks back the curtain on a surveillance machine so vast and pervasive it makes the wiretaps of past scandals look quaint. This is not a hypothetical future but a present reality, unfolding in our everyday lives.

Terry Southern’s “Now Dig This: The Unspeakable Writings of Terry Southern (1950 – 1995)”
Another book review… Yeah, I know. You would prefer it if I wrote one of my smart-ass poems, or finally finished that multi-chapter piece that could possibly be a very interesting book or made-for-public-domain movie. You may even like my stories and other essays. But here’s the thing: I am on the last day of my volunteer service with a film festival, the heat warning we have received is still on (that threat of thunder, lightning and much-needed rain seems like a cruel joke), and I have very little time to tell you all about the reading companion I have taken with me as I worked too often for free in the steam and humidity of my adopted city.

The book’s eerie atmosphere and chilling narrative have captivated readers, making it a standout in contemporary horror literature. However, the newly released film adaptation has not entirely lived up to the novel’s haunting brilliance.

Call Me By Your Name. Top Story - August 2024.
“We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to feel nothing, so as not to feel anything - what a waste!”
