Book Synopsis Retromania by : Simon Reynolds
Book excerpt: We live in a pop age gone loco for retro and crazy for commemoration. But what happens when we run out of past? Are we heading toward a sort of cultural-ecological catastrophe, where the archival stream of pop history has been exhausted? Simon Reynolds argues that we have indeed reached a tipping point.
