From the author:

What's the book about?

That's the first thing everyone asks me. I say, It's about millennials, because an elevator pitch is the opposite of a book and because I'm lazy. Now let me explain.

Millennials met the world at a very strange time in its life. We're the last generation to unironically make a mix tape. We used to get up early on Saturday mornings because that was the only time cartoons were on. We actually used rotary phone dials. We were raised by people who taught us valuable life skills we'll never use again, like writing in cursive and balancing a checkbook. We thought Gatorade was a healthy drink. We used to call inanimate objects gay as an insult. That stuff is us. But we're also the generation that created Spotify. TV airs on our schedule (and it airs like phones dial). We text because phone calls are too intimate. We go months without touching cash (what is the checkbook balancing on anyway?). When it comes to health, we know people who believe in being vegan like our moms believe in Jesus. And there's nothing we tolerate less than intolerance, of sexual orientation or otherwise. All of this stuff is us, so is it any surprise we're a contradictory mess? We're a generation of change.

When I started writing this book in September of 2016, I thought all that stuff was what this book was about. I thought it would be a humorous explanation of why we're misunderstood, and I'd write it in a way that mimicked the best and worst of who we are.
