Hater

• About the book

Hater begins from a simple premise: that it's good to hate things. Not people or groups or benign belief systems, but things. In this scathing and funny rebuke of the status quo, journalist and pop-culture expert John Semley provides a rallying cry for a generation struggling to agree on what stuff is actually any good. Looking for and identifying nonsense isn't just a useful exercise for society, it's also a lot of fun. But Hater doesn't just skewer terrible TV shows and hit songs - at its core it shows us how to meaningfully talk about and engage with culture, and the world.
