London Calling: A Countercultural History of London since 1945 - Barry Miles

This is a few years old but I found it at a library. As the title says its a walkthru of London and British culture from 1945 covering artists, and musicians during this period

Barry Miles was at the centre of this culture running the indica bookshop - so knows a lot of the people

The one thing that sticks out is his discussion whether counter culture exists or can exist in the internet age because everything that happens now is filmed and on social media so quick it finds an audience or is drowned out.
