kunstler's ascerbic descriptions are great! to my mind, Kunstler is the antithesis of George Gilder, both in prose and message. Gilder's prose is purple, pretentious, and poorly written, like what a high school senior would write after loading up on No-Doze to study for the SAT verbal test. Kunstler's prose, by contrast, is concise, unpretentious, and (as you said) acerbic. check out this gem from the eyesore column: As America slides into the post-cheap-oil clusterfuck, houses like these will lose their value dramatically, and the people who bought them will be both stranded and ruined. a man after my own heart, LOL! if the future seems so bright you need eyeshades, read some Kunstler for perspective. preferably while listening to Negativland :) i have not read any of his books, but i get a kick out of his "Clusterfuck Nation Chronicle". kunstler.com
