In the book, David theorized the demise of the indy mag culture that had boomed since the late nineties & even suggested we'd all be reading newspapers from sheets of electronic paper we kept folded in our bags.

This currently out of print @rizzolibooks publication documents hundreds of indy mags from that era, designed by veteran exploded-type designer @vince_frost
