Product Information

Here is Dave Wheeler at his rapid-fire best - observations on politics, culture, and everyday life in a fast-changing, hyper-connected world. In Adventures in Consumerism, he muses on personal ads, greedy business owners, and low-wage shopping encounters. Tackling controversial issues in American Interests, he ponders modern-day indentured service, exposes the politics of fear, and takes both Bill O'Reilly and Occupy Wall Street to task. Looking ahead in New Frontiers, he predicts the rise of insect farming ( Cockroach Pie, Anyone? ) and questions the value of Twitter ( Twitter Me This ). Finally, in Maunderings, he wonders what's so damned important about the Higgs-Boson discovery, identifies with a hermit, and professes his love for a frying pan. Along the way, he introduces us to the people, real or imagined, in his life: an amateur comedian named Bru ( Amateur Hour ), his techlogically-challenged mother ( Digital Divides ), along with ds to great American individualists like Kinky Friedman, Johnny Cash, and the late singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt. Wherever I Am I Want To Be Somewhere Else offers a sharp look at modern-day America. There's even a recipe.
