Description

Boomers: Given Prosperity, Left None Behind is a cultural autopsy of the most consequential generation in modern American history, written by someone who grew up in the fallout.

Blending historical analysis, personal observation, and biting narrative commentary, this book examines how a generation born into postwar abundance reshaped the world, and how its choices fractured families, systems, and futures. From suburban denial and cultural mythmaking to economic extraction and political deflection, this is not nostalgia, and it is not grievance. It is witness.

Written in a voice that is lyrical, unsparing, and deliberately uncomfortable, Boomers traces the emotional inheritance passed down to Gen X and beyond, silence instead of guidance, consumption instead of care, promises instead of preparation. It explores how ideals were traded for comfort, how rebellion curdled into control, and how the cost was quietly externalized onto the generations that followed.

This book is for readers who want history without varnish, critique without slogans, and a reckoning that refuses easy villains or comforting lies.
