X Saves the World: How Generation X Got the Shaft But Can Still Keep Everything From Sucking

In this witty book the author argues that those born between 1960 and 1977 — Generation X — quietly have changed American culture by influencing art, comedy, technology, activism, and business. Though marginalized and accused of being slackers, Gordinier’s generational comrades, he writes, are responsible for YouTube, Google, and The Colbert Report. Gordinier is the editor-at-large at Details magazine.
