About a yr. ago there was a great thread on sci-fi and socialism on the previous list, dsanet. Maybe this will get me to read more Phillip K. Dick. When it comes to postmodern paranoia only Pynchon and Burroughs are better. Michael Pugliese B.T.W. the previous issue of Lingua Franca had a great piece on pomo and Puerto Rican nationalism with the great opening line, "Die you postmodernist!"
