Book Synopsis
Explores the extent to which raver youths' experiences are constrained or determined by individualistic, high-tech, mass-mediated Western culture in which alienated and unfulfilled youth are apparently more at-risk for escapist and thrill-seeking behaviours.

Trade Review
"Wilson uses the rave scene to demonstrate the complexity of contemporary youth in contrast to the somewhat one-dimensional portraits of 'troubled' and 'troubling' youth painted by the mass media and many academics. Wilson's analysis is simply the most comprehensive and theoretically interesting academic work on rave culture." John Shepherd, Carleton University
