As a child of the 90s, I found this book to be a perceptive look back at how much has changed. It easy to lose sight of how different life is now from then. It comments on a wide range of developments from music to politics to technology.
Born in 1979, I’m part of the final gasp of Generation X. Klosterman uses pop culture trends and the rise of the internet and cellphones as framing for understanding how Generation X formed its view of the world and its place in it.
A fun musing on the profound changes to society and communication that took place over the decade of the 1990s, The Nineties reminds us that it wasn’t all that long ago that we got most of our news from the TV, magazines, or the newspaper, and that the 90s shaped my generation in a multitude of ways.
From David's list on memory that make you question how you see the past.
