Description: A hundred years ago, the writings of Viennese satirist Karl Krauswere among the most penetrating and prophetic in Europe: arelentless criticism of the popular media?s manipulation of reality, the dehumanizing machinery of technology and consumerism, and the jingoistic rhetoric of a fading empire.

Framzen annotates Kraus the way Draus annotated others, surveys today's cultural and technological landscape and gives us a deeply personal recollection of his first year out of college when he fell in love with Kraus's work.
Notes: Translated from the German.
