An insightful book about the recent history of many forms of independent art and expression. This book covered music, poetry, comics, traditional art, etc. In some ways, it was very nice that the author was a part of the movements she was discussing, but occasionally she had subjective views on the matter, which was distracting. I did enjoy reading about things that the author was clearly passionate about, and that she discussed a wide variety of topics and people, instead of sticking to the same three or four bands that indie history tends to latch onto. Very informative, very fun, and very optimistic.
