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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe  Nineties\u003c\/i\u003e, 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 \u003ci\u003eKlostermanian\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42819663134800,"sku":"9780735217966B","price":10.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780735217966-l.jpg?v=1785876838","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-nineties-9780735217966b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
