This book turns the censorship debate on its head by posing new questions: What is fantasy? What fantasies circulate throughout pop culture, in the media, and on the Right? What function does the avant-garde have in a culture that co-opts every subversive act? How are novelists, filmmakers, and performance artists using technology and the human body to map the fin-de-millennium environment that already envelops us?
