I simply love Klosterman's perspective on current events and general ideas. He's a great writer as well and frequently dips into the odd but informative. Loved this books as much as his nonfiction I've read in the past. As an aside: He's written some really great fiction too.

The overall premise here is really interesting, and something that resonates with me as a person who grew up in a strict southern Baptist environment with a very “this is right and this isn’t,” worldview. I love Klosterman’s personality- I think it’s one of his strengths as a writer- but I feel like we lose that a lot in this book. The moments where he’s talking about how we collectively perceive culture are really strong.
Overall, thought provoking and fun, if a little redundant at times.
