Hip-hop, rave, graffiti, and gaming took it to another level, and now modern technology has made the ideas and innovations of youth culture increasingly intimate and increasingly global at the same time.<P>In <I>The Pirate's Dilemma</i>, <I>VICE</i> magazine's Matt Mason -- poised to become the Malcolm Gladwell of the iPod Generation -- brings the exuberance of a passionate music fan and the technological savvy of an IT wizard to the task of sorting through the changes brought about by the interface of pop culture and innovation. He charts the rise of various youth movements -- from pirate radio to remix culture -- and tracks their ripple effect throughout larger society. Mason brings a passion and a breadth of intelligence to questions such as the following: How did a male model who messed with disco records in the 1970s influence the way Boeing designs airplanes? Who was the nun who invented dance music, and how is her influence undermining capitalism as we know it? Did three high school kids who remixed Nazis into Smurfs in the 1980s change the future of the video game industry? Can hip-hop really bring about world peace? Each chapter crystallizes the idea behind one of these fringe movements and shows how it combined with technology to subvert old hierarchies and empower the individual.<P>With great wit and insight -- and a cast of characters that includes such icons as the Ramones, Andy Warhol, Madonna, Russell Simmons, and 50 Cent -- Mason uncovers the trends that have transformed countercultural scenes into burgeoning global industries and movements, ultimately changing our way of life. 6647364 5 5 2009 The Pirate's Dilemma: How Youth Culture Is Reinventing Capitalism total:5|5:0|4:2|3:1|2:2|1:0| 5 15 14 0 6457040 141653220X 9781416532200 5 0 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255753474m/6457040.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6457040-the-pirate-s-dilemma 0 0 false Mon Dec 07 20:55:57 -0800 2009 Mon Dec 07 20:55:57 -0800 2009 6457040 141653220X 9781416532200 5 0 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255753474m/6457040.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6457040-the-pirate-s-dilemma 2 0 false Thu Nov 12 20:51:54 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 20:51:54 -0800 2009 6457040 141653220X 9781416532200 5 0 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255753474m/6457040.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6457040-the-pirate-s-dilemma 2 0 false Wed Oct 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 03 19:09:42 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 03:34:40 -0700 2009 6457040 141653220X 9781416532200 5 0 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255753474m/6457040.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6457040-the-pirate-s-dilemma 0 0 false Sat Sep 19 10:06:06 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 19 10:06:06 -0700 2009 6457040 141653220X 9781416532200 5 0 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255753474m/6457040.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6457040-the-pirate-s-dilemma 4 0 false Sat Sep 05 15:47:08 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 05 15:47:08 -0700 2009 6457040 141653220X 9781416532200 5 0 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255753474m/6457040.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6457040-the-pirate-s-dilemma 0 0 false Wed Sep 02 18:59:40 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 19:08:49 -0700 2009 6457040 141653220X 9781416532200 5 0 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255753474m/6457040.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6457040-the-pirate-s-dilemma 0 0 false Wed Aug 26 11:56:36 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 26 11:56:36 -0700 2009 6457040 141653220X 9781416532200 5 0 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255753474m/6457040.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6457040-the-pirate-s-dilemma 3 0 false Wed Aug 26 10:14:43 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 26 10:15:38 -0700 2009 6457040 141653220X 9781416532200 5 0 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255753474m/6457040.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6457040-the-pirate-s-dilemma 0 0 false Mon Aug 24 16:16:43 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 24 16:17:03 -0700 2009 6457040 141653220X 9781416532200 5 0 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255753474m/6457040.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6457040-the-pirate-s-dilemma 4 0 false Sat Aug 08 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 28 11:19:27 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 09 15:06:40 -0700 2009 6457040 141653220X 9781416532200 5 0 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255753474m/6457040.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6457040-the-pirate-s-dilemma 0 0 false Fri Jul 10 14:58:02 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 10 14:58:02 -0700 2009 6457040 141653220X 9781416532200 5 0 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255753474m/6457040.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6457040-the-pirate-s-dilemma 0 0 false Sun Jun 28 21:14:31 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 21:36:54 -0700 2009 6457040 141653220X 9781416532200 5 0 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255753474m/6457040.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6457040-the-pirate-s-dilemma 0 0 false Tue Jun 16 14:31:03 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 14:31:03 -0700 2009 6457040 141653220X 9781416532200 5 0 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255753474m/6457040.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6457040-the-pirate-s-dilemma 0 0 false Fri May 29 14:11:21 -0700 2009 Fri May 29 14:11:21 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6457040
