How popular debates about the so-called digital generation mediate anxieties about labor and life in twenty-first-century America

The children are our future goes the adage, a proclamation that simultaneously declares both anxiety as well as hope about youth as the next generation. In The Digital Is Kid Stuff, Josef Nguyen interrogates this ambivalence within discussions about today's digital generation and the future of creativity, an ambivalence that toggles between the techno-pessimism that warns against the harm to children of too much screen time and a techno-utopianism that foresees these digital natives leading the way to innovation, economic growth, increased democratization, and national prosperity.
