Story
Part memoir, part history, Burn Book is a necessary chronicle of tech’s most powerful players. This is the inside story we’ve all been waiting for about modern Silicon Valley and the biggest boom in wealth creation in the history of the world. When tech titans crowed that they would “move fast and break things,” Kara Swisher was moving faster and breaking news. While covering the explosion of the digital sector in the early 1990s, she developed a long track record of digging up and reporting the facts about this new world order.

Publisher's Summary
A groundbreaking, revelatory portrait of the six generations that currently live in the United States and how they connect, conflict, and compete with one another—from the acclaimed author of Generation Me and iGen.
The United States is currently home to six generations of people:
- the Silents, born 1925-1945
- Baby Boomers, born 1946-1964
- Gen X, born 1965-1979
- Millennials, born 1980-1994
- Gen Z, born 1995-2012
- and the still-to-be-named cohorts born after 2012.
They have had vastly different life experiences and thus, one assumes, they must have vastly diverging beliefs and behaviors. But what are those differences, what causes them, and how deep do they actually run?
Professor of psychology and “reigning expert on generational change” (Lisa Wade, PhD, author of American Hookup), Jean Twenge does a deep dive into a treasure trove of long-running, government-funded surveys and databases to answer these questions. Are we truly defined by major historical events, such as the Great Depression for the Silents and September 11 for Millennials? Or, as Twenge argues, is it the rapid evolution of technology that differentiates the generations?
With her clear-eyed and insightful voice, Twenge explores what the Silents and Boomers want out of the rest of their lives; how Gen X-ers are facing middle age; the ideals of Millennials as parents and in the workplace; and how Gen Z has been changed by COVID, among other fascinating topics.
Surprising, engaging, and informative, Generations will forever change the way you view your parents, peers, coworkers, and children, no matter which generation you call your own.

Eye opening and every now makes sense.
The book did a great job breaking down the difference between generations but more Importantly how technology affected each generation.
After listening to the book things make more sense on our fundamental differences in view points across the generations.
You will come off feeling.ore empathetic to the Gen Z cohort by the end of their chapter.

Excellently written and narrated
Absolutely beautifully written, very informative and up to date and wonderfully narrated. I would highly recommend this to everyone interested in learning about why things are the way they are. Would be great to see the same research done on Non-US or at least European data.
