From the hilarious to the sublime, the observations of cultural commentator extraordinaire, Chris "RageBoy" Locke.. From one of today's most original, outspoken, and outrageous writers comes an extraordinary collection of essays, anecdotes, and observations on our life and times. Under his alter-egotistical nom de plume, RageBoy, Chris Locke has entertained and enlightened thousands of readers from some of the world's largest companies, governments, and institutions-including those from which he's managed to escape.The Bombast Transcripts brings together the best of his worst. And his worst is very good indeed. Part scathing send-up of commercial techno- fetishism, part hysterical standup on the theme of spiritual bankruptcy, part intimate memoir, The Bombast Transcripts will rock you, shock you, and leave you deeply pondering what The Economist once called "the wisdom of RageBoy."
