"The Williamsburg Avant-Garde: Experimental Music and Sound on the Brooklyn Waterfront"--by Cisco Bradley.
Really interesting history and analysis of the scene featuring Mary Halvorson, Nate Wooley, Darius Jones, Matana Roberts, Jessica Pavone, Taylor Ho Bynum, etc.

Discusses the music and influences, but also the socioeconomic changes in Brooklyn from the 90's to present day.
