"The rich retrospective of one of America's finest writers."--Baltimore Sun
"Turn to the three essays grouped under the tile "The Human Beast," and you will be in Wolfe heaven. The first of theseżis an exuberant history of the birth of Silicon Valley "Digibabble, Fairy Dust, and the Human Anthill" moves from the semiconductor industry to the Internet and then, by a kind of intuitive leap, to neuroscience and sociobiology. "Sorry, but Your Soul Just Died' delves into brain imaging and the genetic determination of character. Jesuit priest Piere Teilhard de Chardin, closet Catholic Marshall McLuhan and scientist Edmund O. Wilson are the pivotal figures of these two essays."--Seattle Times "I love Tom Wolfe. Whenever some big bizarro thing happens,I want the man in the white suit to do his usual exhausting reporting, turn the labels inside out and the hypocrites upside down, and tell me what's what in one of jittering, dazzling riffs of his."--New York Times "His fans will find plenty of evidence that Wolfe remains willing to plunge into "the raw, raucous, lust-soaked rout that throbs with amped-up octophonic typanum all around [him]" and that-especially in his nonfiction-he can still grab the brass ring."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
