Games like "World of Warcraft" and "Grand Theft Auto" and the music of Snoop Dogg, Dizzee Rascal and Juan Atkins are fueling the engines of globalization. As a result, popular culture is taking an ever firmer grip on our living environments and our lives. In this book, the authors sound out an urban environment pulsing to the rhythm of popular media. Here technological, political, cultural, economic and military developments meet head-on.
