Description:"BABY BOOMERS (AND I CONFESS I AM ONE): PREPARE TO SQUIRM AND SHAKE YOUR INCREASINGLY ARTHRITIC LITTLE FISTS. FOR HERE COMES ESSAYIST HELEN ANDREWS." (TERRY CASTLE)

With two recessions and a botched pandemic under their belt, the Boomers are their children's favorite punching bag. But is the hatred justified? Is the destruction left in their wake their fault or simply the luck of the generational draw?

In 'BOOMERS', essayist Helen Andrews addresses the Boomer legacy with scrupulous fairness and biting wit. Following the model of Lytton Strachey's 'Eminent Victorians', she profiles six of the Boomers' brightest and best. She shows how Steve Jobs tried to liberate everyone's inner rebel but unleashed our stultifying digital world of social media and the gig economy. How Aaron Sorkin played pied piper to a generation of idealistic wonks. How Camille Paglia corrupted academia while trying to save it. How Jeffrey Sachs, Al Sharpton, and Sonya Sotomayor wanted to empower the oppressed but ended up empowering new oppressors.

Ranging far beyond the usual Beatles and Bill Clinton clichés, Andrews shows how these six Boomers' effect on the world has been tragically and often contrary to their intentions. She reveals the essence of Boomerness: They tried to liberate us, and instead of freedom, they left behind chaos.
