the world's going to hell in a handbasket
_Apocalyspe Culture_ edited by Adam Palfrey (second edition) is a hard book to classify; perhaps the closest one could get is to describe it as a compilation of alternative writings on the sorry state of current society.

The book is divided into two parts. The first part points to the evidence of our society's moral decay, with essays ranging from one that encourages self-castration, to an interview with an admitted necrophiliac, to the Muslim program as outlined by Elijah Muhammed. The second part of the book purports to show the sociopolitcal results of the decay of our culture, and includes an essay by the founder of the Church of Satan, much about the supposedly secret role that the Freemasons play in the political arena, and the connection between the atomic bomb and mysticism.

This book isn't for everyone, particularly not the faint of heart because of some of the photos included. However, I found it interesting, if disturbing, reading. Highly recommended for people who think the world's going to hell in a handbasket, or just like to read material about the outer fringes of society.

Get this book.
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.

TOTALLY ENTERTAINING
This book is like a magazine filled with the illest sensationalistic articles:

Masonic/Kennedy Conspiracy Technophobia Schizophrenic Writing Lycanthropy Fakir Musafa JPL Crowley Conspiracy

It's been a while since I've read this so I'm not doing it justice. I just remember not wanting to put it down.
