Book Description:
In Hooking Up, Tom Wolfe ranges from coast to coast observing 'the lurid carnival actually taking place in the mightiest country on earth in the year 2000.' From teenage sexual manners and mores to fundamental changes in the way human beings now regard themselves thanks to the hot new fields of genetics and neuroscience; from his legendary profile of William Shawn, editor of The New Yorker (first published in 1965), to a remarkable portrait of Bob Noyce, the man who invented Silicon Valley, Tom Wolfe the master of reportage and satire returns in vintage form.

There were some interesting journalistic insights in the first part of the book. The last part was a defense of his writing style and an attack on other authors.

Great stuff... you learn some interesting history along the way. Wolfe truly exhibits his signature tone in this book!
