A review by deneniz
Travels in HyperReality by Umberto Eco
4.0
I'm sure reading a bunch of 40-50 year old social and cultural commentary is not everyone's idea of a good time, but Eco's good-humored, professorial prose and ability to wax philosophical about quite literally anything carry the day.
Highlights include: musings on the kidnapping of Italian prime minister Aldo Moro, various essays on politics in the age of mass media before the internet age. But my favorite is 'Lumbar Thoughts', a wonderful little piece about what Eco learned from wearing jeans.
