I read E Unibus Pluram last night and it was stunning, not because it exposed how irony in media has permeated literature, but because it made me realize that I'm also "inside the aura". I may be just as guilty of using irony as a means of putting myself on a pedestal above "other people", of feeding my ego through mockery of a contrived status-quo. I finished it at about 1:15am and am still reeling.
