The Reality Overload: The Modern World's Assault on the Imaginal Realm
“It’s a common complaint that we have more information than we know what to do with. Annie Le Brun reveals that the problem is not just information overload, it’s lack of imagination and an information-drenched reality.The Reality Overloadwill make you think twice about what really matters.” (Christian de Quincey, author of Radical Knowing and Consciousness from Zombies to Angels)“Annie Le Brun skillfully defines why we have lost our natural balance and points the way to regaining harmony with ourselves and the world. A timely and eloquent resource,The Reality Overloadoffers a journey of awakening and revitalization. I encourage you to embark on it.” (Kenneth Smith, author of Awakening the Energy Body)"This is an astonishing book, one of the best crafted books I've read. . . . an intellectualtour de force, raising provocative issues and warrants an in-depth review." (Jeff Farrow, reviewer, Jan 2009)" . . . challenging, yet resonant and rewarding work for ones familiar with the prevailing understandings of postmodernism." (Henry Berry, reviewer, The Midwest Book Review, Dec 2008)"The author links many modern ills to this information overload fact, discussing relationships between ecology, human actions, and the abandonment of the magical realm and dreams . . . a pick for both new age and philosophy collections." (The Midwest Book Review, Jan 2009)"The Reality Overloadis an intriguing treatise on modern society, highly recommended." (Library Bookwatch of  The Midwest Book Review, Feb 2009)"But it is as a poet that Annie Le Brun offers us perhaps what we lack most of all: a sensibility grown transparent through an understanding of negation as by an exaltation of the imagination; the imagination of the body. And it is this sensibility that she brings toThe Reality Overload." (Allan Graubard, reviewer, Aug 2009)"An excellent book that makes a much-needed connection. Imagine a world in which we "green" the realm of meaning and fantasy in addition to just the material world!" (Jason Louv, Dangerous Minds, Feb 2010)
