Description
Book SynopsisAn optimistic and nuanced portrait of a generation that has much to teach us about how to live and collaborate in our digital world.
Trade Review"This extraordinarily rich and empathetic account of Gen Z offers a groundbreaking understanding of this generation's habits and motivations without reducing them to the sum of their posts and tweets. This work excels in unpacking the subtle ways that identity formation and presentation of self are seamlessly interwoven with digital communication for zoomers. Parents, teachers, and anyone who cares about our future as a society should read this deeply informed contribution to the research on Gen Z."--Devorah Heitner, author of Screenwise: Helping Kids Thrive and Survive in Their Digital World
