Bøger af Michael Wheaton

Home Movies is an essay about the day-to-day realities and unrealities of its author's hypermediated consumer life as a teacher and parent in Orlando, Florida. In each of the essay's seven sections, Wheaton explores his relationships to new media and old tech, and the people around him, with thoughtful ambivalence and humor. Altogether, the various threads of Home Movies--image, tangibility, fame, nostalgia, simulation, marijuana, and cinema history--pull together into a moving attempt to accept the tensions between watching/being watched and life/art.
