520    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. -- Website.
