Doom Patrols is a madcap rollercoaster ride through the bizarre landscapes of late 20th century culture. Considering topics as diverse Elvis worship, the erotics of cyberspace, fantasies of the millennium, multiple personality syndrome, and the molecular logic of insect DNA and ranging from William Burroughs to Dean Martin, from Michel Foucault to My Bloody Valentine, from Andy Warhol to Bill Gates, the essays in this collection take an idiosyncratic look at the forces transforming world culture.
