First sentence: I am concerned in this book with four of those "most energetic" and ambitious prose writers of recent decades who have sought in their work, in the full knowledge of the impossibility of their task, to reflect imaginatively on the whole of American technological culture (Jameson, "Postmodernism" 79).
