Here are two fantastic pieces by David Foster Wallace, one of the premier contemporary post-modern authors. The first is an essay called E Unibus Plurum about the culture of television and entertainment, and the second is a commencement address that he gave at Kenyon College. The essay is long (about 40 pages) but more than worth it, and the speech is a really quick read.
Enjoy!
