admonition for the petroleum age

from Big Data by driving off the spleen

/

about

“Admonition for the petroleum age” is yet another reverberation from our obsession with Melville’s novel. This particular track was inspired by “Moby-Dick and the Mythology of Oil: An Admonition for the Petroleum Age” by Robert D. Wagner Jr.

"In Moby-Dick, Herman Melville captured the American whaling industry at its peak, with momentous changes ahead. Here, in "Moby-Dick" and the Mythology of Oil, Bob Wagner casts Melville's epic novel as a lesson for the ages, one that is critical for us in today's petroleum age. Wagner's interpretation of Melville's tale connects directly with today's world, even with today's headlines. Readers concerned with the American economic experience and our relationship with the earth will find much to ponder in Wagner's illumination of the parallels between Melville's time and ours."
