Summary:
One of the least understood countries in the world,
North
Korea
has long been known for its repressive regime. Yet it is far from being an impenetrable black box. Media flows covertly into the country, and fault lines are appearing in the government's sealed informational borders. Drawing on deeply personal interviews with
North
Korean defectors from all walks of life, ranging from propaganda artists to diplomats, Jieun Baek tells the story of
North
Korea
's information underground--the network of citizens who take extraordinary risks by circulating illicit content such as foreign films, television shows, 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 consciousness of a people, as well as their everyday lives.
