A Double Tall Tale of Caffeine, Commerce, and Culture
by Taylor Clark
Starbucked will be the first book to explore the incredible rise of the Starbucks Corporation and the caffeine-crazy culture that fueled its success. Part Fast Food Nation, part Bobos in Paradise, Starbucked combines investigative heft with witty cultural observation in telling the story of how the coffeehouse movement changed our everyday lives, from our evolving neighborhoods and workplaces to the ways we shop, socialize, and self-medicate.
"Though Clark loses some of his focus...his dubious perspective on one of the modern world's most ubiquitous icons is just frothy enough to prove entertaining." - Publishers Weekly.
