This month: Getting vexed for the right reasons. London-based rapper Bartoven made a good point recently – in which other culture would you wear a brand new pair of white trainers to a club then get mad when someone accidentally stomps on your tootsie, dirtying your attire in the process? Men have died over such things. Sense – it makes none. But, thankfully a new addition in my life this month, Summer of Unrest: Generation Vexed, an ebook by Kieran Yates and Nikesh Shukla takes a wider view on the anger and events around the 2011 riots that started in Tottenham, following the death of Mark Duggan. Priced at a mere £1.99 on iTunes or £1.79 on Amazon, the journo’s explore what the English riots DON’T tell us about the nation’s youth. Yes, that’s you. Brushing stereotypes aside, the dynamic duo investigates the creativity and entrepreneurialism that are defining a supposedly ‘lost’ generation. Yes, that’s you again. Designed to inspire and give you hope, and with some media outlets predicting riots becoming a frequent occurrence over the next five years, arm yourself with knowledge before anything else. Generation Vexed by @kieran_yates @nikeshshukla. Out now
