How-to subvert advertising and why you should.
If you are sympathetic to this idea this book is for you.

[Lenka · Rating 5 out of 5]

"Edward Bernays is widely considered to be the founder of the modern public relations industry."
"Bernays also makes the claim that good advertising is not simply propaganda for an individual product, or even for an individual company, but for the entire system of consumption."

"Advertising is a form of visual and psychological pollution."
"The visual realm is a public realm. It belongs to everyone, so no-one should be able to own it."

Very interesting. A good starting place for people interested in taking action against advertising. Good images from some campaigns.

Really interesting primer on advertising’s impacts on society, along with subvertising strategies and advice. Easy to read and well-researched

2.5 — wasn't sure what to expect. Focuses pretty much solely on outdoor advertising and doesn't cover too much history/science aspect.

The first half shows negative effects of advertising with ample references. The second half is about Subvertising and how billboard ads are resisted throughout the world (specifically US and UK).
