An instant New York Times bestseller!Informative endlessly entertaining.”—BuzzFeed Generation X’s definitive chronicler of culture.”—GQFrom the author of But What If We’re Wrong comes an insightful funny reckoning with a pivotal decadeIt was long ago but not as long as it seems: The Berlin Wall fell and the Twin Towers collapsed. In between one presidential election was allegedly decided by Ross Perot while another was plausibly decided by Ralph Nader. Landlines fell to cell phones the internet exploded and pop culture accelerated without the aid of technology that remembered everything. It was the last era with a real mainstream to either identify with or oppose. The ’90s brought about a revolution in the human condition and a shift in consciousness that we’re still struggling to understand. Happily Chuck Klosterman is more than up to the job.In The Nineties Klosterman dissects the film the music the sports the TV the pre-9 11 politics the changes regarding race and class and sexuality the yin yang of Oprah and Alan Greenspan and (almost) everything else. The result is a multidimensional masterpiece a work of synthesis so smart and delightful that future historians might well refer to this entire period as Klostermanian.
