An Intrepid Business Journalist's Counterintuitive Look at
the Convergence of Marketing and Culture in Contemporary Life. Using fascinating profiles of companies and products old and
new, including Red Bull, the iPod, Timberland, and American
Apparel, New York Times "Consumed" columnist Rob Walker
demonstrates that modern consumers are likely to embrace
marketing and use brands to craft and express their
political, cultural, and even artistic identities. Combine
this with marketers' new ability to blur the line between
advertising, entertainment, and public space, and you have
dramatically altered the relationship between consumer and
consumed.
