Lucas Hilderbrand in the Independent Weekly

Lucas Hilderbrand's Inherent Vice was reviewed in yesterday's Independent Weekly. Reviewer Gerry Canavan sees Hilderbrand's book as "a sort of love song to the VCR—one much needed in this age of YouTube." He also writes, "Hilderbrand presents a strong case that personal recording technologies (in both analog and digital forms) represent a crucial site for both political struggle and public action, even civil disobedience—implicitly warning that fair use is something that needs to be fought for or else it will be subsumed by copy-protection schemes and corporate enclosure."
