Book Description:
"If you want to see some of the coolest graphic design of 2008, pick up FORECAST: NOZONE X. If you want to be sent into a spiral of deep depression, also pick up FORECAST: NOZONE X. Two birds, one stone. Part magazine, art book, comic and political polemic, the Nicholas Blechman-edited duotone journal makes sharp points about global warming, carbon footprints, foreign oil and a litany of other hot-button issues via charts, illustrations, cartoons and whatnot. The contributors are quite skilled in crafting cool visuals, but geez, is this subject matter bleak! Decidedly leftist, it struck me as dealing in the kind of fear-mongering that the right is often accused of (and with damned good reason). Even if you agree that the country is screwed up (and its hard not to, given all the evidence), this overplays the doom and gloom and looks awesome while doing it."
