About The World and How We Describe It

Each term's rhetoric is illustrated in an analysis of texts in popular culture: William Gibson's novels, the usenet group rec.motorcycles, and the film Groundhog Day. Brummett explores the ways people use three key terms-reality, representation, and simulation-as rhetorical devices with political and social effect.
