Amok Fifth Dispatch: Sourcebook of the Extremes of Information Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The Amok Fifth Dispatch is an exhaustively researched, entertainingly annotated and provocatively illustrated guide to over two thousand of the most bizarre, controversial and thought-provoking books available from hundreds of publishers worldwide, complete with ordering information.

Synopsis:

The definitive reference work surveying the outer margins of our Information Age, the Amok Fifth Dispatch presents in one volume the entire gamut of extreme literature available from hundreds of publishers worldwide, complete with ordering information. The Amok Fifth Dispatch is arranged according to its own ground-breaking taxonomy, from "Control" (analysis of power structures from the Trilateral Commission to the American Psychiatric Assn.) to "Mayhem" (true crime, disasters, forensic medicine) to "Neuropolitics" (pyschedelia, parapsychology, brain chemistry) to "Scratch 'n' Sniff" (pop culture and kitsch) to "Orgone" (sexuality, the body, and the life-force) and more. The previous sourcebook, the Amok Fourth Dispatch, became a must-read underground sensation and went on to sell over 50,000 copies.

Synopsis:

The entire gamut of extreme literature - the sickest, the weirdest and the wackiest - available worldwide, complete with ordering info.
