Totally Wired by Simon Reynolds
A tight collection of essays and interviews that documents and analyzes the post‑punk movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s, showing how artists stretched punk’s raw energy into experimental sounds, art‑school aesthetics, dub and funk inflections, and explicit political engagement. It profiles key bands and scenes, situates their sonic innovations within cultural and historical context, and traces how that restless, genre‑crossing experimentation reshaped subsequent alternative and electronic music. Blending reportage, criticism, and firsthand testimony, the work argues that post‑punk fundamentally expanded popular music’s expressive possibilities.
