Book Reviews of Disinformation: The Interviews.

Book Review: The Most Interesting People You've Never Heard Of
Summary: 5 Stars

Alright, well maybe some people have heard of the people interviewed in this book - Howard Bloom or Robert Anton WIlson perhaps - but how many really know much about radionics expert Duncan Laurie or artist-futurist Paul Laffoley?

Certainly not the previous reviewer, because if he'd actually read the book he'd know that the disinfo.com website is run out of New York, Metzger is based in LA and he's never appeared at the Prophets Conference (whatever that is). More to the point he fails to mention anything about the amazingly candid interviews with a collection of oddballs who have in different ways created marvelously diverse forms of modern magic - from Kembra Pfahler's performance art to Grant Morrison's comics, to Douglas Rushkoff's media viruses, etc.

I challenge *anyone* who has actually read the book to say they didn't feel challenged, amazed and at the end changed by what the people within have to say.

I guess some are so challenged by the revolutionary thinking in this book that like those religious zealots who decry texts without actually reading them, they knee jerk attack the author.

Totally recommended for anyone who wants to know where modern culture is going.

Summary of Disinformation: The Interviews.

The best and most revealing interviews from the prococative TV series/DVD of the same name.

Richard Metzger presents the most compelling interviews from the hit TV series Disinformation, revealing mind-blowing thoughts from modern culture?s most radical thinkers: Paul Laffoley on how to build a working time machine and a house made of vegetables; Douglas Rushkoff explains "media viruses"; Lucifer Principle author Howard Bloom on the coming biological apocalypse; Genesis P-Orridge on what it?s like to be the leader of your own cult; Joe Coleman?s collection of weird stuff; Robert Anton Wilson on The Illuminati and Aleister Crowley; Kembra Pfahler on The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black; Duncan Laurie on the forbidden science of radionics; and comics author Grant Morrison (The Invisibles, JLA, X-Men) on sex magick, Hollywood?s interest in underground culture and the best alien abduction story you?ll ever hear! Plus, many more modern revolutionaries (including philosopher Peter Russell, futurist Mark Pesce, and Apocalypse Culture?s Adam Parfrey) expressing their thoughts, fears, enthusiasms, and predictions.

The book?s title is our brand name and trademark?both a first and a last. It is also the first book by the "face" of Disinformation?Richard Metzger. Naturally, it will receive our biggest marketing push ever:

o Richard will make live appearances in New York, Los Angeles and other cities ?Multiple TV & Radio appearances ?Multiple mailings ?Retail price and position participation ?National press coverage ?Promotional t-shirts and other branded merchandise ?Ongoing Disinformation web site (www.disinfo.com) and email blitz

Richard Metzger is a co-founder of The Disinformation Company and wrote, directed, and hosted the first two seasons of the Disinformation TV series, which initially aired on Britain?s Channel 4 network. The series has been licensed to a major cable network in the United States, and a DVD of the series is planned and will be co-marketed with the book.
