Synopsis
'No Logo' was a book that defined a generation when it was first published in 1999. For it’s 10th anniversary Naomi Klein has updated this iconic book. Included is a new introduction.
By the time you’re twenty-one, you’ll have seen or heard a million advertisements. But you won’t be happier for it.
This is a book about that much-maligned, much-misunderstood generation coming up behind the slackers, who are being intelligent and active about the world in which they find themselves.
It is a world in which all that is ‘alternative’ is sold, where any innovation or subversion is immediately adopted by un-radical, faceless corporations.
But, gradually, tentatively, a new generation is beginning to fight consumerism with its own best weapons; and it is the first skirmishes in this war that this abrasively intelligent book documents brilliantly.

External Reviews
"This book is an excellent read, entertaining and informative."
"A brilliant and eye-opening book that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone who is feeling disillusioned with all-dominating brands and capitalist values in today's turbulent and morally questionable society." - Google Reviews.
'The Das Kapital of the growing anti-corporate movement' - Guardian.
'A riveting, conscientious piece of journalism and a strident call to arms. Packed with enlightening statistics and extraordinary anecdotal evidence, No Logo is fluent, undogmatically alive to its contradictions and omissions and positively seethes with intelligent anger.' - Sam Leith, Observer.
'A fascinating ride through the history of marketing. Klein brilliantly humanises No Logo with fascinating personal stories, her voice firm but never preachy, her argument detailed but never obscure.' - Alex O'Connell, The Times.
'Naomi Klein brilliantly charts the protean nature of consumer capitalism, how it absorbs radical challenges to its dominance and turns them into consumer products.' - Madeleine Bunting, Guardian.
'A sharp and very timely book. A couple of chapters in, your mind is already reeling . . . convincing and necessary, clear and fresh, calm but unsparing' - Guardian.
'A manifesto and a call to arms that sometimes reads like an Orwellian nightmare' - Financial Times.
