Pure Invention: How Japan's Pop Culture Conquered the World by Matt Alt

4.0

A well researched history of how Japan has spread its pop culture through the world. I knew a fair bit of what was in here, having grown up with Nintendo and Game Boy, having discovered and fallen in love with anime in college. But Matt Alt continued to surprise me with little tidbits that added to the story and deepened my understanding of the little and big things that lead to these inventions. A must read for anyone interested in Japanese culture.
