While some of the book inevitably feels out of date, due only to the fact that the particular squabbles of today aren't the squabbles of yesterday, what's more incredible is just how on point the majority of it is.

"The Man And His Newspaper" could have been penned about Fox News, and The Flat Freak captures the absurd emptiness of today's brand of conspicuous consumption favored by the one percent, better than any polemic I could name.
