Synopsis

"Underground Fighting" explores the hidden world of unsanctioned fight clubs and extreme martial arts, examining their reality against the often sensationalized depictions in manga. The book delves into the motivations and risks involved in these underground arenas, offering insights into why individuals participate in such high-stakes activities. It highlights the ethical considerations surrounding these events, especially regarding society's simultaneous condemnation and consumption of violent narratives.

 
The book traces the historical evolution of combat sports and analyzes societal factors influencing the emergence of underground fighting, like economic disparities and the allure of unregulated competition. It argues that manga's romanticized image obscures a more complex reality, deconstructing myths through the lived experiences of fighters and organizers.

 
The approach is balanced and analytical, using journalistic investigations, interviews, and academic studies to support its claims. Organized into three parts, the book begins by defining underground fighting and its ethical questions. Subsequent chapters explore its history, analyze the psychology of participants, and deconstruct manga portrayals. The book then synthesizes these findings, addressing the central argument about the distortion of reality and offering a more holistic understanding of this subculture.

    Ever wonder how legendary linebacker Bobby Wagner applies Jay-Z's entrepreneurial lessons to his football career? Or what studying the music business taught graffiti pioneer Fab 5 Freddy about distributing his art? Any entrepreneur or professional can gain a greater understanding of what's happening in the world -- from trends like NFTs to changes in the broader business climate -- by observing what has happened to (and because of) musicians. Doing so offers a path to wrapping one's brain around what may yet be coming down the pike in any industry. Take the shift from analog to digital, in which vinyl and cassettes were replaced by CDs long before DVDs conquered VHS. Or the move from physical to virtual, where Napster decimated record stores even as bricks-and-mortar retailers like Blockbuster blindly chugged toward their doom. In "We Are All Musicians Now," former Forbes senior editor Zack O'Malley Greenburg educates and enlightens while offering the audience backstage passes to the most fascinating industry transformations of the past fifty years.

    Depeche Mode’s 101 is, at first glance, a curious thing: a live double-album by a synth band. A recording of its “Concert for the Masses,” 101 marks the moment when doomy, cultish, electronic Depeche Mode, despite low American album sales and a lack of critical acclaim, declared they had arrived and ascended to the rare air of stadium rock. On June 18, 1988, 65,000 screaming, singing Southern Californians flocked to Pasadena’s Rose Bowl to celebrate DM’s coronation.The concert also revealed the power of Southern California radio station and event host KROQ, which had turned Los Angeles into DM’s American stronghold through years of fervent airplay. KROQ’s innovative format, which brought “new music” to its avid listeners, soon spread across the country, leading to the explosion of alternative rock in the 1990s.Eight years after its founding in Basildon, Essex, Depeche Mode, rooted in 1970s Krautrock, combined old-fashioned touring, well-crafted songs, and the steadfast support of KROQ to dominate Southern California, the United States, and then the world, kicking open the doors for the likes of Nirvana in the process. 101 is the hidden-in-plain-sight hinge of modern music history.

    Sustainable living has become one of the most widely discussed topics in modern society. From eco-friendly products and renewable energy to ethical farming and carbon offsetting, the idea of reducing environmental impact has been embraced by individuals, corporations, and governments alike. The push for sustainability is often framed as a moral responsibility—one that promises a better future for the planet and future generations. But beneath the surface of these well-intentioned efforts lies a reality that is far more complex than most people realize.  
      
    This book challenges the widely accepted belief that sustainable living is always beneficial and without trade-offs. While reducing waste, conserving energy, and making mindful consumption choices are undoubtedly valuable, many so-called “green” solutions are not as effective—or as ethical—as they seem. In some cases, the environmental costs of these initiatives may be just as damaging, if not worse, than the problems they aim to solve. The truth is that sustainability has become a multi-billion-dollar industry, driven by marketing strategies that capitalize on people’s desire to do good.  
      
    Consider the rise of organic farming. While it is often marketed as a superior alternative to conventional agriculture, it requires significantly more land to produce the same amount of food, contributing to deforestation and biodiversity loss. Similarly, electric vehicles are widely praised as the key to a cleaner future, yet their production depends on intensive mining for lithium and rare earth metals, which comes with severe environmental and human rights concerns. Even recycling, which many believe to be a simple and effective way to reduce waste, has its own limitations, as much of what is intended for recycling never actually gets repurposed.
