My biggest regret about this book is that it didn't seem like it went deep enough. As it is, it's a set of essays about the 90s, ranging from movies to Ross Perot. While I enjoyed it reading it and thought that it was well-written, it ultimately felt like it left avenues of analysis open that it should've explored. However, I am an erstwhile academic and enjoy a hearty academic book, so I probably expected something from this book that it wasn't able to give.
The essay that sat with me the most was the on about Quentin Tarantino and the way that movies became about the movies; I've carried that with me as I've been making art and thinking a lot about if I'm making content about content, or if I'm grounding content in real experiences.
