No Logo

I recently read a book by Naomi Klein called No Logo. It's an interesting critique of globalization and capitalism, and I found if fascinating, if frightening. After Fast Food Nation, I was a little desensitized to stories of unfair working conditions, but Klein does an excellent job of recounting the stories of sweatshop workers in the Phillipines, among others. One of the storylines I found most fascinating was the story of some Bronx youth, who when enlightened about some of Nike's labor practices, put all of their Nike gear in bags and dumped the bags at the NikeTown store in Times Square. Awesome.

Anyway, I just discovered that there is a companion web site, No Logo, where Klein posts updates and messages. Very interesting. I've always wondered why there aren't more book/internet tie-ins, especially for nonfiction tomes. I hope that more sites like these pop up in the future.
