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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChuck Klosterman \u003c\/b\u003eis the bestselling author of nine nonfiction books (including \u003ci\u003eThe Nineties; Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eBut What If We're Wrong?\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eKilling Yourself to Live\u003c\/i\u003e), two novels (\u003ci\u003eDowntown Owl \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Visible Man\u003c\/i\u003e), and the short story collection \u003ci\u003eRaised in Captivity\u003c\/i\u003e.
