Having looked at the faustian imperative and seen how we might see it mirrored in the life and career in that great believer in organisation and the new tomorrow, Le Corbusier, it's time to look at reactions against the actual consequence; the military industrial complex. You are asked to read the poem above, readily downloadable, from the father (if you like) of the Beatniks, whilst I will complement this reading with discussion of sixties counterculturalists William Burroughs, Marshall McLuhan, and the literary figure Norman Mailer, who was mentioned by Berman in the context of that curious attempt to levitate the Pentagon.
