"J. Hoberman's latest epic ⚡️ is a dense tome of '60s #nostalgia, guaranteed to make you feel like you're stuck in a time loop of pretentious art 🤯 and existential crises 🌀. Because nothing screams 'modern' like a book that uses more paper than a small forest 🌳 and references a play no one remembers. 📚🤷‍♂️"
