Opus 21: Descriptive Music for the Lower Kinsey Epoch of the Atomic Age is a book written by Philip Wylie. The book is a collection of essays that explore the cultural and social implications of the atomic age during the 1950s. The author examines the impact of the atomic bomb on society, the psychological effects of living in a world threatened by nuclear war, and the ways in which popular culture reflected these concerns. The book also includes a series of fictional vignettes that illustrate the anxieties and fears of the era. The title of the book, Opus 21, refers to a piece of music composed by the author that he suggests captures the mood of the time. Overall, Opus 21 offers a unique perspective on the cultural and social history of the atomic age and its impact on American society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
