Dumb serves as a time capsule of the rise and fall of the little ragtag mag that upended the entire skate industry—and pop culture writ large—by using archival footage and candid interviews from the original Big Brother staff (Tremaine, Steve Rocco, and Dave Carnie), the pariahs of the skate world who were welcomed with opened arms (Bam Margera, Jason "Wee Man" Acuña, Steve-O), and even outsider fans who felt their gravitational pull (Jonah Hill).

His novel "Netherland," with its evocative and slightly mannered descriptions of a New York cricket team, was taken up by Zadie Smith as an example of what the novel could do and, perhaps, no longer needed to do; Smith took issue with O'Neill's lush prose, although she might just as easily have objected to his idealization of its central cast, a ragtag team of immigrants seemingly handpicked to deliver a Meaningful Realization to its protagonist, Hans van den Boek.
