Been reading this book by Naomi Klein. I’m only about 60 pages in with not having been able to read much for pleasure recently owing to college work (which I’m currently avoiding doing by blogging but anyway…). It’s quite interesting stuff, but one thing has struck me: the book is very ‘heard it all before’. Now, I will do a proper review of the book once I get it finished, but the question I have is; is the book familiar because she says nothing that original or has she just been so successful in spreading her ideas? Anyone?

You heard it all before because Klein set the trend with No Logo. Remember, it was written at the start of the anti-globalisation heyday.

Thats what I thought… but having come into this stuff years after it first appeared, getting the continuity rights a bit difficult… I mean the first time I heard of her was in the film ‘The Corporation’ and that was last year….
