Show Notes

"Crash is, hands-down, the most repulsive book I've yet to come across." So said a book reviewer in The New York Times. Published in 1973 to widespread critical revulsion, Crash is a book about the relationship between humans and their technology, the role of symbols and simulation. These themes are explored through the metaphor of people crashing their cars and having sex with their wounds. I expected to hate this book, but actually loved it. It's a wild ride.
