I really enjoyed this book. I was born in the 60s, grew up in the 70s and 80s, and now fully connected to life in the 21st century. So I've experienced both the Before and After in this book.

Absolutely fascinating look into our group psyche! This book really explains what's going on in our society right now.

I highly recommend to anyone born before about 1990, and who feels just a little out of step with the current trends in our society.
