What does it mean to be working-class in a middle-class world? Cynthia Cruz shows us …
Surprisingly good. Instead of academic verbose, the author speaks of her own lived experience and interwines it with the lives of artists - musicians, writers, film makers. The scope is quite wide: from Ian Curtis and Paul Weller to film maker Barbara Loden.
Well written travelogue and history of a coastal sound. Without being too dense and theory-laden, it leads you through the history by referencing archival material, stories of the inventors, sound art and music.
Great reading for those who want to broadem their perspectives on what museums can look and (more importantly) function in the present and future.

"An exhilarating journey through the subcultures, occupied squats, and late-night scenes in the anarchic first …
Powerful. First part on West Berlin subclutures is written in different than the second (on East Berlin) and last (“New Berlin”). These are more personal - Hockenos haďs a more personal relationship to the East Berlin squatters (Church from Below). The only downside is the part on clubbing in 90s. I can understand Hockenos felt that he can’t finish the book after 1989, but this part reads like a mediocre article on clubbing in 90s.

Radical Technologies is a non-fiction book by the UK-based American author Adam Greenfield. Subtitled 'The …
Somewhere between 3 and 4. Greenfield is critical about all of the discussed technologies, but some get less critically dissected than others - cryptocurrency and blockchain being one of them. The style veers between factful (using many news stories), theoretical and more evocative. The main downside - the book doesn’t create a coherent whole, though it references itself throughout the chapters, it reads more like a series of essays.
