 he story of North Korea's information underground and how it inspires peop
 le to seek better lives beyond their country’s bordersOne of the least und
 erstood countries in the world\, North Korea has long been known for its r
 epressive regime. Yet it is far from being an impenetrable black box. Medi
 a flows covertly into the country\, and fault lines are appearing in the g
 overnment’s sealed informational borders. Drawing on deeply personal inter
 views with North Korean defectors from all walks of life\, ranging from pr
 opaganda artists to diplomats\, Jieun Baek tells the story of North Korea’
 s information underground—the network of citizens who take extraordinary r
 isks by circulating illicit content such as foreign films\, television sho
 ws\, soap operas\, books\, and encyclopedias. By fostering an awareness of
  life outside North Korea and enhancing cultural knowledge\, the materials
  these citizens disseminate are affecting the social and political conscio
 usness of a people\, as well as their everyday lives.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;
