Good News for Pop Culture Buffs

Over the last hundred years, American movies, television shows, detective novels, fast-food chains, and musical styles have defined modern life. Yet as we approach the third millennium, thoughtful commentary about the impact of mass culture has hit a new low. Magazines that once published solid pop commentary now offer quick glosses on cultural events that provide little insight to the well-informed observer. Just as the pop catalogue is exploding across 500 cable channels and the mushrooming Internet, pop criticism has faded from the mainstream media.

It will serve as a guide to the technological wonders that will reshape the future, provide sophisticated commentary about both old and new pop art, and help distinguish the revolutionary from the merely recycled.
