Summary: Get this book.
Comment: Reality is mediated, and most people don't have the time or
interest in exploring different realities -- but for those of
us who know that reality is a strange and wonderful place,
AC is alot of fun. This book opens up the world for the reader
and explores regions of mankind which are ignored by the
national media. Get this book and read it, and never again
be satisfied with the commodified, safe version of humankind
delivered by traditional sources. Conspiracy, freaks, the end
of civilization; Take a look.

Summary: apocalypse what?
Comment: Ah, a book displaying the fears and conspiracy theories of the eighties (a bad time period indeed). Oh, sure, there are still 'interesting' people out there right now, but i recommend reading this book as solely the relic of a bygone era. According to some accounts in the books, we should already have mechanical replacments for every organ, and have our hands serve as credit cards. Oh, and the apocalypse is already supposed to have happened. Perhaps the only use for this book is to read it for the shock value, for it still supplies plenty of that. The oft-lauded tale of the necrophiliac is actually quite tame compared to the interveiw with Peter Soto- a misogynist, sado-masochist who admires someone who tortured a girl to death after raping her in every way possible (and then the book goes on to say free speech as we know it is going down the drain, presumably because of this man's arrest. Ideals in the wrong places guys?)
However, not all of the articles are solely for shock value. 'Agriculture: demon instrument of civilization' has fascinating things to say about 'progress,' Surprisingly other articles are down-right boring (as if we didn't already know about revenge in secret societies!), but this doesn't mean that the book as a whole doesn't have the effect on the reader it's supposed to have. I made the mistake of reading some over midnight, and sub sequentially lost a night of sleep!
This book could be read by those with weak stomachs, but i don't recommend it for those who still have faith in human beings. It is not the 'truths' presented in it (weather control? really.) but the people who write those truths that are so upsetting.

Summary: Big deal before the internet
Comment: The stories in this book were probably much more interesting before the popularity and surge of the internet, which brought these people together in ways easier than they ever imagined.
The book gets a little boring in the middle but all in all it is interesting, nothing in it worth any hoopla though.
