He responded by creating a Twitter handle, @AntiPCNYUProf (now @TheAntiPCProf), and began bashing campus excesses with humor and biting satire. Predictably, he was soon discovered and pushed out of his job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRectenwald struck back by publishing \u003cem\u003eSpringtime for Snowflakes\u003c\/em\u003e, a memoir of his experiences in academia, which included criticism and analyses of the leftism now dominating campus culture. He followed that book with \u003cem\u003eGoogle Archipelago, \u003c\/em\u003ewhich delves into the seeming enigma of why big business embraces far-left politics - hint: self-interest is involved - and the rapid growth of consumer\/citizen surveillance. The foundation for a robust leftist totalitarianism is being carefully laid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith this new volume, Rectenwald returns with his characteristic sharp wit and incisive analysis and continues to fine tune his critique of modern leftism. He brings his unique perspective as an ex-Marxist and civil libertarian to bear on leftist culture, with its abandonment of traditional morality and emphasis on collective social identities -- which are ironically increasingly atomized, as overwhelming centrifugal forces break up any previously stable social cohesion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe revolution is here and it's winning. Find out why, and how to combat it.
