In 'iGen,' Jean Twenge analyzes the cultural changes affecting today's teens and young adults, born after 1995, who are the first generation to spend their entire adolescence in the age of smartphones. The book draws from nationally representative surveys and in-depth interviews to document how technology has influenced their socialization, mental health, attitudes toward religion, sexuality, and politics. Twenge argues that this generation is distinct due to their extensive use of technology, which has led to increased levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness, as well as changes in their developmental pace and social interactions. The book is divided into chapters that explore various themes, including the impact of internet use, changes in social behaviors, mental health crises, and shifts in religious and political attitudes.
Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti's book provides a unique blend of populist right and left viewpoints, analyzing the Trump and Sanders movements. It offers biting commentary, predictions, and critiques of the media, while advocating for a working-class centered politics. The authors challenge establishment figures and propose a vision for rewriting the rules of the 21st century to benefit Americans.
