Book Overview

America is no longer a country but a multimillion-dollar brand, says Kalle Lasn and his fellow "culture jammers". The founder of Adbusters magazine, Lasn aims to stop the branding of America by changing the way information flows; the way institutions wield power; the way television stations are run; and the way the food, fashion, automobile, sports, music, and culture industries set agendas.

Very Important Book for our Times

As my title indicates, Culture Jam is a very important book for our times. Not many people are happy these, days, and most people are quick to point out that there's just something "wrong" with the way the world works.

If you've ever been treated unfairly by a large corporation, or if you're...

Revolutionaries Unite!

This book is a call to arms for all the people who feel that the overconsumptive ways of our consumer culture have become overbearing. Kalle Lasn has a lot of good ideas and a couple of cool ways to resist authority and corporate domination in our everyday lives. I think anyone today can relate to his arguements on some level. It is time we reclaim democracy and think about the long term affects that our actions will...
