Disch's On Wings of Song is at once allegory, social satire, political
fable, and brilliantly written science fiction of the ultimate
out-of-body experience.In Disch's dazzlingly imagined future America,
Daniel Weinraub dreams of escaping the repressive midwest of the
mid-twenty-first century through an electronic device with which the
user takes flight into cyberspace when activated with a quasi-musical
code called "The Symphonette." Daniel's adventures take him from Iowa's
God-fearing police state and its "correctional" labor camps for the
sinful to Manhattan's mean streets and "cyberspatial flight paths."
