He is a master of shifting prose tonalities perfectly matched to the events he describes, and a master of reifying the weirder aspects of human activity, the interplay betweeen group behaviors/psychology and the so- called individual. I say so-called individual because he seems to find a vacancy filled more with adaptive habits than “inner development” at that perceived center of western culture we call the individual. He seems fascinated with cults; in this case the cult is cryonics. I find myself wanting to understand why he wrote Zero K and wondering if others have a less baffled reaction.-
