In a few words
A definitive collection of the best pieces from the irreverent cult magazine
VICE may have cornered the market on cool in print.
VICE has built a small empire out of a raw, ironic sensibility, risque photographs, and a willingness to deal in taboo subjects.
More about
the book
VICE magazine started out as a reaction against the humourless, self-righteous posers of the end of the 90s. Originally a black and white fanzine, the magazine is published in 30 countries across the globe, and has grown into an international multimedia empire. A conglomerate of writers, photographers, artists and filmmakers, they report first-hand on war, terrorism, the environment and how everything is going to hell with as much relish as they do sex, drugs and rock ‘n’roll – all served up with a large dose of humour. It’s time to find out for yourself. Welcome to the world of VICE. You’ll like it.
Magazines can be very dull and shallow, VICE seems to have turned that on its head somehow.
Dame Vivienne Westwood
Most magazines are driven by a desire to make money by putting celebrities in them. But VICE looks like it's here because it wants to be.
Ian Hislop
Make way for the new honesty.
A work of genius.
