Description:
From Fight Club to Burning Man, Flash Mobs to Santarchy cacophony
influenced everything subversive, playful and anti-authoritarian in
popular culture over the last 20 years – this is the great, untold
story of the 1980s and ’90s.
A template for pranksters, artists, adventurers and
anyone interested in rampant creativity, Tales of the San Francisco
Cacophony Society is the history of the most influential
underground cabal you’ve never heard of.
Rising from the ashes of the mysterious and legendary Suicide Club, the
Cacophony Society, at its zenith, hosted chapters in over a dozen major
cities, and influenced much of what was once called the underground.
The Cacophony Society’s epic exploits radically changed the way people
live and play in the world. The group inspired Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight
Club and Burning Man and helped start pop culture trends including
flash mobs, urban exploration, and culture jamming.
A large-format, full-color, hardbound homage to this protean group, Tales
of the San Francisco Cacophony Society is packed with original art,
never before published photographs, original documents and incredulous
news accounts.
