So Yesterday by Scott Westerfield
Unbeknownst to most world, there is a pyramid of "cool", that starts,
spreads and filters trends to society. At the top of the trend are
Innovators, the off-kilter individuals who come up with new trends.
Next are the Trendsetters, those who spot these trends and display
introduce them to the public. Hunter, a "cool hunter" employed by major
corporations to spot new fads, is one of these Trendsetters. A phone
call about some mysteriously awesome new shoes leads him into an
abandoned building and right into the middle of an engima, as he and
his Innovator friend Jen rush to solve a kidnapping and discover the
truth about the "cool" pyramid."So Yesterday" was an action-packed,
fascinating read that got me thinking for days. Scott Westerfeld
masterfully causes readers to examine fads and trends in a way they
might not have before, while giving a commentary on American
consumerism. This is a fun, thought-provoking book for all.
