Absolutely fascinating. The book was well thought out and researched. It uses real life examples like Why hush puppies became fashionable; poularity of sesame street and the rise and fall of airwalker....to make its point. My husband and I throughly enjoyed the book and highly recommend it.

This book is one of the few out their that really gets you thinking about the small stuff. Blink by the same author is another great read and well worth having on the bookshelf
