Written during the Spring of 1993, Jonathan begins with a commentary on a Deathlok comic, going vignette by vignette, which leads him onto a prescient discussion of the prospect of resurgent authoritarianism through technology in the liberal state. Deathlok’s world of urban blight then recalls a visit to the Isle of Sheppey, told in cinematic detail. And from there Jonathan dedicates the rest of the volume to a wide-ranging discussion—always through the prism of right and left—of religion, magic, and the occult, paying particular attention to Christianity, paganism, and Satanism, and touching on Alister Crowley, Anton LaVey, and the novels of British occult writer Dennis Wheatley. An interesting volume spanning from the modern and the popular, to the ancient and the transcendent.
