Critics Review
” Overexposed is a most remarkable work… A brilliant piece of undercover reporting, from the strangest of strange lands.” J.G. Ballard “ Overexposed is a voyage through hell. A gleaming, air-conditioned, sanitary, and polite hell where a triumphant psychotechnology replaces the old-fashioned shackles of the Law and “cures” the sex-offender by boring to death his desire. Sylvere Lotringer”s account of this charnel house of behaviorisim is deft, witty, and precise.” Joel Kovel “The sexualization of postwar American culture has produced results that would astonish Freud, Reich, or even Kinsey. Modern techniques of behavior modification now cast doubt on the sources of individual eroticism. Overexposed is an engrossing description of sexual conditioning condoned by the state. A fascinating book.” William Burroughs
