      Beginning from the constructivist premise that "postmodernism is a manufactured artifact", the author develops a series of readings of problematically postmodernist novels - Joyce's "Ulysses", Pynchon's "Gravity's Rainbow" and "Vineland", Eco's "The Name of the Rose" and "Foucault's Pendulum", the novels of Joseph McElroy and Christine Brooke-Rose, Kathy Acker's "Empire of the Senseless" and the works of cyberpunk science-fiction by William Gibson, Bruce Sterling, Lewis Shiner, Rudy Rucker and others. This book relates these "high" culture products to such aspects of postmodern popular culture as TV and the cinema, paranoia and nuclear apocalypse, angelology, the cybernetic interface, and death.
