Quite the game! There are tables over tables, very detailed. A meticulous work of love. I haven't used the rules and can only comment based on reading them, but they seem playable.
To me as a European, the mood of this era seems alien but still fascinating. A lot of the entries have a vibe of heavily accentuated liberalism to them (liberalism in the ideological sense), which feels wild, liberating and repellent at the same time. I don't know that much about the pop culture this book undoubtedly refers to, but it can certainly also be used to create moods in the vein of Tarantino's Death Proof, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Lynch's Lost Highway or Wild at Heart; but you could also create with some work a more warmhearted ambiance like in Wender's Paris, Texas or Out of Rosenheim (well, quite some work actually). With the help of these tables, you can either create lonely, desolate places like in the aforementioned movies or very lively ones.
It's an OSR game, so there's no narrative, no prewritten adventure.
But for anybody who is looking for a modern-day game with surreal/preposterous/horrific elements: Even if this didn't turn out to be exactly the game you hoped for, it certainly still would be a helpful resource.
(If you happen to be proficient in French: As the French have a lot of film noir rpgs that take place in the United States, games like B.I.A., One%, Americana, Wallow Wide, L'Heritage Greenberg, C.O.P.S. and particularly Project Pelican could easily be combined with The Uncanny Highway.)
