Generation Books

Jason Louv, a youngish editor at Disinfo.com, is about to publish Generation Hex, "a collection of essays, both practical and autobiographical, which explore the overwhelming levels of interest in magic and shamanism in youth culture". This coincides with the formation of Ultraculture, something along the lines of an esoteric Indymedia.org combined with community networking. While I have mixed feelings about this (I attempted to submit a lame-ass contribution at the last minute -- something about wandering around parking lots while chanting -- to understandable silence on J's end), I think this is another courageous attempt to further distance esoteric studies from narcissistic New Age Baby Boomer bullshit. To Boulder's dolphin-worshipping herbalist morons -- your time is near! [Also in discussion right now, a book for Generation SIT!]
