Tom Engelhardt is, of course, pitching his book, The End of Victory Culture. But I believe he is also saying some profound things about a fundamental change in history, from the story of the rise and fall of empires, to the story of a single empire dominating the only planet humanity has... and contributing to the physical decline of that planet.
With luck, HPL will have the book. If not, it may be a while before I read it. Meanwhile, the linked essay is a good start.
Listen! That sound you hear is the shredding of the social contract. - Bill Moyers
