The World According to VICE

Since it was founded in Montreal in 1994, VICE magazine has brought its uniquely irreverent and informative brand of journalism to a worldwide audience with offices all over the world and the highly successful Vice Land and VBS.TV websites. This book is a stake in the ground, a marker of where VICE has been, where it is and where it might be going, welcoming back its fans and a whole new slew of readers. What started as a filthy newsprint punk zine has blossomed into a multimedia empire with the highest quality dispatches from the cultural frontline: irreverent commentary, photo-journalism, interviews, commissioned literature, blogs and photography. Forget what you thought you knew about it and immerse yourself in the world of VICE. It might not be easy to swallow and it might not be pretty, but it´s never less than real, and always essential.
