If at some point in your childhood you saw Sabrina get a nipple out on public television, your adolescence was traversed by the Alcàsser crime, you created your first alias to open an account on Messenger and you remember that Shakira was once a brunette, you need to read this book. Although you should also read it if you don't remember any of that. Because in it, and starting with some of the pop culture milestones of the last decades in Spain -from Ally McBeal to Operación Triunfo, going through the story of Ricky Martin, the dog and the jam- Juan Sanguino dissects the forced landing in the first world of a country that thirty years ago had not yet completely lost its innocence. Kim Kardashian and her revolutionary conception of fame as an end in itself, the rise of the geek that hits like Harry Potter represent or the emergence into public life of the middle class with phenomena like Big Brother, Belén Esteban or even Letizia Ortiz- are some of the issues addressed in this chronicle, sometimes nostalgic and often outrageous, of the insertion of Spain into contemporary popular culture, and how that process has brought this country to modernity and has turned us all into what we are today.
